2 things:

1. Them boys might really make the call if he goes through with this
2. If a REPUBLICAN administration sets the precedent of cutting defense spending, democrats have no reason to EVER support increased military spending. That cat is officially out of the bag and any democrat that wants to spend more on the military instead of fixing our problems here will be seen as a fukking idiot.

Good this is what I want to see the most. I like Trumps idea of having an agreement with Russia and China to all collectively cut military spending 50%. And to be real this is do able especially since drones is the now and future compared to fighter jets.

Well if you really wanna get government efficiency, increase corporate taxes and slash the DOD‘s budget. Not target federal agencies that investigate your friends.

Well, the reality is all of Trump’s actions will remove America status as the sole superpower of the world. It’s the end of the hegemon. Just a matter of time before the tension with European leaders results in America closing up bases at many places throughout the world.

Military industrial Complex will not allow this to happen under any circumstance.

Good. Our tax money pays for that frivolous shyt. We got bases in places that we don't need em in.

This mf has set a precedent and any excuses democrats try to give for not making massive changes will be and should be met with maximum hostility.

As with everything involving Trump, there’s cutting waste vs just taking a hatchet to an agency then learning why these programs exist in the first place.

Dude literally fired people in charge of our nukes cause they couldn’t be bothered to look at things beyond line items.

He’s definitely going to shutdown overseas bases in Europe for his daddy Putin.

Brother, they are such a spineless party that they will campaign on restoring the Pentagon budget and we all know this.

Many tax cut provisions contained in the TCJA, notably including individual income tax cuts, such as the changes to the standard deduction in §63 of the IRC, are scheduled to expire in 2025 while many of the business tax cuts expire in 2028.[9][10] Extending the cuts have caused economists across the political spectrum to worry it would boost inflationary pressures[11][12] and worsen America's fiscal trajectory.[13] The Congressional Budget Office estimates that extending the expiring provisions would add $4.6 trillion in deficits over 10 years.[14]

They are doing the best they can to renew those tax cuts. That's great news for you if you're rich, terrible news if you are anyone else.

Why are we happy that they’re going to cut the military budget which will theoretically make us less safe just so that the billionaires can get a tax cut?

They aren’t going to give us health care, free college or better infrastructure with the savings
