I know it's a lot to ask of a drunk, but if he really thinks DoD can - in nominal terms - absorb a ~35% cut while doing all of the things he prioritizes here, he's insane. In real terms this would be ~45% (depends a bit on inflation assumption, I used 3% as a plug). Totally insane.

The "Trump derangement syndrome" heuristic is so strong. You'd obviously get a weeks-long outrage if Biden's WH did a "King Joe" meme, but the response here will be "of course the loony TDS left is going crazy about this funny joke."
