On board the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship, Mr. Trump reiterated his belief in more military spending in front of around 800 U.S. servicemen and women, some of whom wore “Make Aircrew Great Again” patches with an image in the likeness of Mr.
Our infrastructure is shredded, we've been at war for 25 years, the DOJ budget is out of control and still he needs more defense money?
Are troops serving at a post / on a ship allowed to not attend a presidential appearance function? If they can decline to attend, is it frowned upon to not attend?
Safe today but a national security nightmare in the future as the US deficit explodes under trump & the GOP. How much military can a bankrupt country buy. Our enemies are loving the actions by trump & the GOP to weaken the US for decades to come. Vote GOP out. The future matters.
REALLY Ship replacement programmes Multi $ Billions over budget producings little, F 35's moving toward total failure many $ B's over budget and late. Building and scrapping useless tanks. AND the MSM with sealed lips. Time for investigation journalisum on Defense Contracts
What if that spending was directed to prevent conflict by mitigation of the root cause instead?
In Japanese
🔶 ♦️ It all makes sense now! tRump is in Japan, where he’s expected to address troops aboard a battleship. tRump needs his “fix” of people clapping for him! Dead soldiers don’t clap! ♦️ 🔶
Terrible; this is NOT what most Americans want but what the military industrial business complex wants, lobbies for, and contributes to lawmakers’ campaign coffers over. Enough.
The military would have plenty of cash if they dodnt have to blow their budget sitting around twiddling their thumbs on the border.
Where did he golf?
We don’t need more military. We need to stop invading other countries. That is a better way to honor those who have already fallen in wars that never should have happened.
IFixedIt President Trump called for more military spending in order to subvert it to “building that wall” in his Memorial Day addresses to U.S. troops in Japan
“The U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year[on its military]. Crazy!”-Donald Trump, 5 months ago He is suffering from some sort of brain abnormality, he can’t remember his positions from moment to the next. The question is, why don’t you ever call him on it?
Notice whenever they talk about more military spending, they certainly don't mean raises for our military!!! You would be appalled if you knew how little our brave men and women in the military make! Those poor defense contractors though need help!!
More PORK for my defense contractor friends. Especially my Boeing crony installed at the Defense departmentZ
More money means more jobs for americans.
Let Japan pay for it.
WE ALWAYS SHOULD BE ADVANCING IN OUR WEAPONRY,! CANT HV A WEAK MILITARY!!! STOP CORRUPT DEMOCRATS STOP CORRUPT SOCIALIST !! KAG MAGA2020 WALLAWAY VOTEDEMOUT
Anyone bothered that the troops were ordered to attend this photo op?
President Trump called for more Iran War spending in his Memorial Day addresses to U.S. troops in Japan
OMG. Did he do his completely ridiculous fist bump? He is desperately trying to increase military spending to to get his ludicrous parade. BTW: he wants the military to work on a National holiday, like they already do not work hard enough. He needs to go!
Post-Obama US Army is PC. So many women, transmen, metrosexuals, and Asians. Weak. Not frightening at all. Russians would crush your soldiers. The women would be impregnated by them
It's not that the military needs more money. They need to investigate the contractors who over charge for their services.
Wrong. Voters want to reduce military spending.
More it makes one wonders how much is enough. I guess as long as America has the money for it.
GOD......What is this ?
Should we take that as a great raise, no military person should make under 100k if we really value the sacrifice they all make! Do it POTUS !
Huh? You took from military to pay for the Wall. Money ran out. $1.57B for 1.7 miles. Steve Bannon just oversaw the building of 1 mile of the Wall for $6M. That’s a HUGE difference. I say that we let Steve finish the Wall.
Bone Spurs pumps his fists....
The Japanese pay😄
How much more money do we need to spend? We are at over 700 million dollars now. How about spending some of the money we have now on better veteran care?
USA national motto should change to 'Who´s next?'
Thank god! Our military continues to be the best this world will ever see!! Go trump!!! MAGA
Honestly. Who in heaven’s name cares what he says?
So he could summarily take it back to fund his vanity project....a wall which was supposed to be paid for by Mexico.
he's a few bullets short of a full magazine
Whats the use of having all this fabulous military if you're not going to use it to kill people?
Does that mean my taxes are going up 🤔
NO
spur of the moment
