One thing is clear... China just got a boner. Of course, Congress will get a vote, so none of this will come to pass. I hope SECDEF likes 40% less GFM force providers.

I’ll leave this guy right here…
Definitely some American values in this official White House post…
Lol and just who are they supposed to be negotiating with?I actually suspect this is just some type of negotiating tactic. Pete Hegseth has made his name as an advocate for veterans and both he and I believe Trump have advocated for a bigger military. I know one thing, rightly or wrongly, they are taking aim at is the "woke" stuff in the military.
Congress (both parties). Certain progressives might like it, but even they will not be very inclined to do anything to support Trump, even if it means supporting the military-industrial complex for four years.Lol and just who are they supposed to be negotiating with?
The “woke” progressives of the opposition party would fucking love this.
You mean like negotiating with Russia over Ukraine, where he gives them half of what they want before you even start?some type of negotiating tactic
I'd love to know what kind of negotiating this absolute horseshit represents: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114031332924234939I actually suspect this is just some type of negotiating tactic.

Call me elitist, but I immediately question any graphics made with the default colors in Excel. They did at least change to a serif font.Interest on the national debt now exceeds the defense budget. https://www.cfr.org/blog/first-time-us-spending-more-debt-interest-defense

Congress is going to override his veto in the very first appropriations bill, just like they did toward the end of his last term when he tried to kill 2x carriers.One thing is clear...

Exactly. Too many people only hear Trump’s bark but forget his need to always be right…even when he caught.Congress is going to override his veto in the very first appropriations bill, just like they did toward the end of his last term when he tried to kill 2x carriers.
