President Donald Trump was criticized on social media after reversing course on his repeated promises to slash Big Government spending and usher in world peace by announcing a record $1 trillion military budget.
Trump dropped the bombshell Monday during a news conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The president bragged about the historic nature of his taxpayer-funded, $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
“Nobody’s seen anything like it,” he boasted. “We have to build our military.”
Despite the mind-boggling amount of cash he plans to pour into the military, Trump insisted, “We’re very cost-conscious.”
He added: “But the military is something that we have to build. We have to be strong because you got a lot of bad forces out there now.”
