What is Trump's war budget for 2020, taking into account that there is no war? $738 billion.

That's a lot of money to flush down the toilet and have nothing to show for it.

The wars have been lost, but Trump kept flushing money down the toilet:

By the Department of Defense’s own accounting, taxpayers spent $13.34 trillion on the U.S. military from 2000 through fiscal year 2019 in inflation-adjusted 2020 dollars. Add to that another $3.18 trillion for the Veterans Administration, and the yearly average comes to a whopping $826 billion. No other country’s military outlays come close.

Senate Blocks Confirmation Of Trump’s Federal Reserve Nominee Judy Shelton
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voted no, giving him the option to bring Shelton’s nomination up again at a later date.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/senate-blocks-judy-shelton-trump-federa
l-reserve_n_5fb424dcc5b6a4664671b912

Shelton’s views have made her a doyen of the far-right fringe, where a return to 19th century economic institutions is viewed as the cure for all that ails the global economy. But those same ideas have alarmed mainstream economists and financial professionals who believe such programs fueled the Depression and would generate international economic chaos today.

Shelton is also viewed even within her own party as a partisan opportunist. After advocating the gold standard and voicing support for high interest rates, she quickly reversed course once Trump announced his intention to nominate her to the Fed. Trump is an outspoken advocate of low interest rates, believing them to be a source of economic growth. And prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fed’s commitment to low rates proved an economic boon, helping to drive unemployment to its lowest levels in decades. With Trump in the White House, Shelton insisted she wanted to keep rates low and distanced herself from her prior comments about the gold standard and deposit insurance.

Jeeze, immediately after he lost the election, Trump wanted to nuke Iran over it's bomb-making program, but the Pentagon told Trump, "With all due respect, Mr President, are you crazy? We're not doing that!" I'm sure the Pentagon, not Presidents, decide who gets killed where.

Trump’s “Maximum Pressure” on Iran Has Failed
His latest talk about bombing the country’s nuclear facilities proves it. He had no strategy except to undo what Obama did. It didn’t work out very well.

If you guys successfully steal the election, it will be a pleasure to vote for him a third time in 2024.

In the mean time, I have shit to do. Have fun destroying each other when there is no Bogey Man to focus all of your collective hate on anymore.

I did, my dear Russian troll: "I'm sure the Pentagon, not Presidents, decide who gets killed where." By the way, it is the Pentagon, not the President, that tells Congress what its budget will be. Presidents keep pretending they are in charge of budgets. They are not. It is the Pentagon and Congress. Congressmen don't want their fingerprints on the dead bodies killed by the Pentagon, which is why there has been no declarations of war since 1942. It is very convenient to make Presidents the prime murder suspects. And the voters are simpletons easily tricked about who killed who for what false/worthless reasons.

Yup.

Second doesn't reply to my post because he realizes that THIS is how adults act when they don't get their way.

He got his way and he's still acting like a little crybaby bitch.

There's just no pleasing some people.
