Trump screams about other countries taking more of a burden and then wants a bigger militarybecause the democrats held the military hostage/-----/ "Doubling down on deficit spending and debt during a boom economy is a recipe for disaster."
That would be the Congress not the president, Tinkerbell.
I could’ve swore that Trump signed that spending bill

Run on that
If you’re pulling your troops out of Europe and Korea and reducing your military presence abroad, why to you need to increase military spending?
This has been my contention since Trump first started whining about the NATO Allies “taking advantage” and making the US pay too much.
The rest of us aren’t forcing the US to spend 20% of its budget on the military. This is a choice that Americans have made. In fact, every time a Republican is in power, the first thing they do is increase the military budget. Right wingers are forever clamouring to increase military spending.
If you have no threats, if you’re not under attack, why do you need over 1.3 million soldiers? In the past 150 years, only one foreign government has ever attacked you on your home soil.
The USA is now the world’s prime exporter of weapons of mass destruction. Trump’s tirades against NATO allies are designed to get them to buy American weapons and thereby boost exports.
Canada has been trying to get out of the F35 purchase contract since the price went totally out of control.
The rest of you are not spending the 2% you committed to. Cut the whining and grow a pair
