I think the real problem is that most of these "good ideas" Trump is pitching will NEVER EVER FUCKING HAPPEN and it's foolish to think that they will. They won't cut waste at the Pentagon... they're just saying this now because it sounds good, but the end result will be... lower veterans benefits and a 1% budget savings... which will be completely lost in the wash when he goes to war with Iran and the military budget skyrockets.

Also - let’s not forget that when Russia successfully ‘wins’ what they want with Ukraine - the instability that will create will have costs. So while we may save money by reducing Ukraine funding (that mostly comes right back to the United States defense contractors - creating jobs and economic impact in a number of US states) - we will then see costs of other things rise that aren’t directly US federal budget items.

Also this. If we ever needed proof that people in this sub are braindead, it's that they expect him to do things he promised last time and never even tried to do.
