Subject: How much more money for war?
As we know, Trump the Conqueror is demanding another $200B supplemental for his war, right now.

As we know, his FY 2027 budget bumps "defense" to $1.5T, with cuts to domestic spending.

Trump unveils $1.5T defense surge, deep domestic cuts — what’s on the budget chopping block

When did Trump the Conqueror first drop that $1.5T number for "defense"?

Trump’s $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget Should Not Come as a Surprise

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on January 8 that he would ask Congress for a $1.5 trillion defense budget for the next fiscal year (FY). Many national defense experts have argued for years that increases in the budget are necessary to modernize the U.S. military, particularly to deter and defeat peer adversaries such as China rather than terrorist groups and smaller states.

Math break:

The Federal fiscal year ends Sept 30. So, that $200B supplemental would be the expectation for war costs, from whenever it is enacted, through September, a bit under 6 months.

According to some articles, the $1.5T is $445B more than what had been expected, for FY 27.

So the bump in the defense budget, announced in early January, is just about right, to cover a full year of "bombing Iran into the stone age".

So Trump the Conqueror's "defense" budget request from early January, would fund a year of the war we were supposedly forced into, in late February, with victory always only two weeks away.

I don't think that is a coincidence either.
