Trump Proposes $1.5 Trillion Pentagon Budget and Deep Domestic Spending Cuts
President Trump released a budget plan that includes a $1.5 trillion blueprint for the Pentagon. This proposal calls for a 40 percent increase in military spending while cutting $73 billion from health, housing, and education programs. The plan allocates $66 billion specifically for shipbuilding and provides billions more for the Navy, Air Force, and Army.
Critics argue the budget is a betrayal of campaign promises and puts the president's priorities over the needs of Americans. The proposal includes funding for mass deportations and military operations while reducing support for groceries, energy bills, and rent.
