Trump Says He Plans ‘Historic’ Investment in Armed Forces

MAGA

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday promised to spend lavishly on the United States military in an effort to maintain peace in “our troubled, troubled times,” telling troops and commanders that he would give them the tools to prevail against the Islamic State and thwart its attempts to strike America.


“We will make a historic financial investment in the armed forces of the United States and show the entire world that America stands with those who stand in defense of freedom,” Mr. Trump said at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., home to the military’s Central Command and Special Operations Command.


“Radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland,” he added, claiming without elaborating that the “dishonest press does not even want to report” on terrorist attacks throughout Europe.


“They have their reasons, and you understand that,” he added. His criticism of the news media appeared to ignore the vast amount of reporting on violence committed by the Islamic State and its supporters in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.

Right, because the US doesn't spend enough on the military.

Make it a missile defense using missiles with Russian engines Yankee doodle air-frames and software 500m range, 5000 mile radar capabilities. Operation in existing facilities, savings, several $100B per year and more jobs as drone-jockies.

"Historic" investment. Trump sure does love to spend taxpayers dollars.

Not only that they spelled Vacation Fund as Military. You get what you pay for.

No investment, no return and no fun along the way. You can't end up in the poor house if you are already there.

I'm not sure they ever did. I've tried to discuss economic policy with a few Trumpites even before they could be considered Trumpites and they're pretty clueless. They should just admit they don't care about taxes, government spending and other economic issues as long as the dark people go away

 

[mentalfloss]

It really is pretty incredible how everything they do is just a front for racism and xenophobia.

 

[petros]

Is $32B a Canadian record for refitting our forces? Yes or No?

Justin "Cracka" Trudeau doesn't think record spending on our military is an issue.

Why does it bother you that Trump has no issue for his nation either?

 

[mentalfloss]

I'm not a conservative.

I just make fun of the people who pretend they are.
