Trump Requests Record $1 Trillion Defense Budget as War With Iran Looms

Earlier this week, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump announced he is requesting a record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget. The proposal for a $1 trillion budget came as Trump was meeting with Netanyahu and also as he has been threatening to go to war with Iran.

Trump said, “So we’re going to be approving a budget, and I’m proud to say, actually, the biggest one we’ve ever done for the military.” Last November, the Pentagon failed its 7th audit and could not account for $824 billion.

Only two months ago, Trump floated cutting our military budget in half, and the proposal was popular. He said, “One of the first meetings I want to have is with president Xi of China, president Putin of Russia. And I want to say, let’s cut our military budget in half.”

President Trump announced he is requesting a record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.

“We also essentially approved a budget, which is in the [vicinity], you’ll like to hear this, of a trillion dollars,” Trump said. “$1 trillion, and nobody’s seen anything like it. We have to build our military, and we’re very cost conscious, but the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong, because you got a lot of bad forces out there now.”

“So we’re going to be approving a budget, and I’m proud to say, actually, the biggest one we’ve ever done for the military,” he added.

The request for a $1 trillion budget came as Trump was meeting with Netanyahu and also as he has been threatening to go to war with Iran.

A week ago, Trump threatened to bomb Iran if they don’t negotiate a new nuclear deal similar to the one he scrapped during his first term to please Israel First GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson (Pete Hegseth was also funded by Sheldon Adelson when he was younger and ran a pro-Iraq War lobbying group called “Vets for Freedom”).

“If they don’t make a deal,” Trump said, “there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

Trump reiterated the threats on Monday, telling the media: “I think if the talks aren’t successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger. And I hate to say, great danger, because they can’t have a nuclear weapon.”

Trump said the US and Iran will hold “direct” talks next Saturday but Iran countered by saying the talks will be “indirect.”

 

“On the order of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has refused to sit down with American officials in direct nuclear negotiations since Mr. Trump pulled out of the last accord,” the NY Times reports. “After Mr. Trump spoke on Monday, however, three Iranian officials said Ayatollah Khamenei had shifted his position to potentially allow direct talks.”

Indoctrinated is more like it. From youth. This is an ORGANIZED CRIME syndicate masquerading as a religion. The people who support it do so because they profit from it. The quasi religious status shields them from public suspicion and criticism. But the prime leaders (billionaire mobsters) don’t really have any such religious delusions . They just use the thousand years tradition and established system as a framework from which to operate. They are godless, except for MAMMON. THAT is there true “G-d”. You’ve got to admit though. The racket works. It’s highly networked and they know how to teamwork their… Read more »

It’s their choice. Ground troops or push buttons. Either way, I say we mind our own business and let all these other nations fight their own wars.

What a plan! Put in a president that poops in his pants, can’t remember yesterday and stands for everything unAmerican then to the relief of those with common sense put in someone that walks and talks like a good duck just to rally them to the slaughter house under the guise of making Israel great. Many cannot connect the dots nor do they know the ones claiming to be the chosen people do not match even one biblical promise given to the real chosen people. Look ’em up and discover for yourself. They have never been as numerous as the… Read more »

Iran is the last of the nations slated for regime change prior to 9/11. Anything for the Jewish lobby, even it kills US in the process. Hey wait. It IS ! Last November, the Pentagon failed its 7th audit and could not account for $824 billion. Did Rumsfeld announce the missing $2.3 TRILLION missing the day BEFORE 9/11 as a NATIONAL EMERGENCY??? I guess it was! But it got overshadowed by 9/11. Funny how things work like that…..I mean ….what GRABS the PUBLIC’s ATTENTION and all. Anywho, NOTHING ever came of the $2.3 trillion. It just vanished into thin air.… Read more »
