PRESIDENT TRUMP follows through with one of the worst of his campaign pledges: a sharp increase in defense spending. The Anti-New York Times reports:

Say it ain’t so, Orange Man! From the article [in the New York Times]:

“President Trump will instruct federal agencies on Monday to assemble a budget for the coming fiscal year that includes sharp increases in Defense Department spending and drastic enough cuts to domestic agencies that he can keep his promise to leave Social Security and Medicare alone, according to four senior administration officials.”

So, the $634 Billion dollars that the American taxpayer spent to fund the Department of Offense in 2016 wasn’t enough to guarantee our “freedom” TM. Nor will the massive protective moats known as the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, coupled with neighboring vassal land masses of Canada and Mexico, fully protect us from some unspecified foreign invader. No, Supreme General Orange Man thinks we need to spend more money on “defense.” To protect us from what? The … Martians?

But, of course, the Trump cultists will be too busy bowing and scraping before this reality TV actor-turned-president to realize what this means. Or maybe they don’t care. Maybe they think it’s okay to have World War III as long as we have a wall along the border.
