Trump want to halve military spending

[dmallord]

It would be great if military spending was halved, but Trump promised the MAGAs he’d increase it.

Don't forget about the egg promise.

Are Haitians still eating people's pets? Haven't heard about them for a while or where they slipped out of the country by night on an expensive military jet?

That's actually quite impressive. I don't think even a manchurian candidate would have been that effective.

Trump not want halve military spending. Trump want more! Trump want trillion!

House Republicans have released legislation that would increase Pentagon spending by $150 billion, pushing the total defense budget in FY-25 to more than $1 trillion if passed.

Trump also want grift. Trump EO dump Pentagon procurement regs to make more waste and fraud! Trump want corruption.

So, when is he going to slash military spending?

Classic Trump opening negotiation tactic.

When you really want to cut defense spending in half, you do not open by demanding an increase. You open by demanding a 75% cut.

And you don't change the department's name to "War," either -- that does not signal an intention of austerity.

Trump, the President of peace and wanting to end wars.

Some people don't have to be satirized, you just quote 'em.
