24. "POOR" MIC ??????????
Wed Apr 8, 2026, 11:23 PM
Apr 8

His budget for the Military and MIC is an astronomical ONE TRILLION PLUS DOLLARS for next year......

If he were to succeed at getting out of NATO, it would mean shutting down ALL of our Military Bases in all those countries, and abandoning them..........Certainly giving PUTIN and orgasm and an Aneurism at the same time.........
All of the Military would return to the U.S. just in time for him to spread them across the U.S. to enforce his Martial Law, due to him illegally enacting the Insurrection Act, and throwing out the Posse Comatatus Act at the same time.......both of which he has already instituted on a limited basis, mostly in Blue States and along the Mexican Border.....
