cannot wait for the day this narcissist is face to face with the only God of the Universe. and God says, "evildoer - now you'll suffer in flames eternally, and then some. btw, your cronies are here, too, but there's no crypto party. Just eternal suffering."
That graph and such stats are useless. Comparing spending is pointless.
Compare the price of for example a bullet [of similar specifications] in each country would be more appropriate - maybe a bullet costs the equivalent of US$1.00 in China but would cost perhaps US$15.00 in US.
Good question.
Perhaps base it on the wage rate paid in each country.
Maybe US soldier gets US$100 per day, whereas a Chinese soldier gets currency equivalent of US$5 per day.
So of course even if US and China had the same number of soldiers, the US costs will be much more.
There no god damn way we need a bigger military budget - and this orange wet fart keeps talking about fraud and corruption well look no further than our military budget and now you wanna make it bigger ? What a 🤬 moron
So many of his supporters will have to swallow these pills, pretending these things are actually good for them. Like cyanide in a bottle of Flintstone vitamins.
Crazy spending so much on security and the military - having the right people in charge in those depts to help determine the need would be a better start. But when you have the likes of Rubio, Noem, Homan, and pretty Pete as the 'heads' - no amount of money thrown will fix anything.
Not helping the poor in health, education... in favor of tax cuts, ICE, and a bigger military doesn't match Christian values. While Trump says he will 'bring back Christianity', it is said where the money goes is where your priorities are. This budget better reflects power and self-centered values.
Trump’s ignorance is shining brightly with this proposal 😂. Hopefully, if we still have people with common sense in place, this won’t go through. Trump, an autocrat, wants us uneducated, sickly, and impoverished. Something that Americans have fought against
Why isn’t he cutting his secret security detail for him and his family. That would save the tax payer perhaps billions because of all the children and baby mamas and all their trips. Look I didn’t need to work for doge to find savings!

Guess I was mistaken.

Can't have Yanks escaping..............
And get Canada to pay for it.
Unless we plan on attacking NATO.
He's already screwed his buddies, the noble husbandmen.
FAFO.
Trump wants a polluted & sick America
The Trump administration will cost American lives, proving the Republicans are not PROLIFE
Rest assured — it wasn’t about principle. It wasn’t about government efficiency. It was never about making America a better country.
Rather — it was about Musk’s wallet.
It always was.
