    I just don’t even know how I’d react if he successfully cut the defense budget in half. Would i have to join MAGA at that point?

    Because… yeah, I hate everything he’s done or let others do so far. His Cabinet is/ will be a nightmare. I assume this defense cut would come with more egregious tax cuts for the billionaire class.

    But cutting that much from our stupid war budget … man that’s such a nice thing to get…
