That is what Trump is asking for in the new budget request.



White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for Defense in New Budget Request


If enacted, that amount would set military spending at its highest level in modern history. The proposed increase would be offset in part by steep cuts to domestic programs.
[my emphasis]

The Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025 are reaping the 'rewards' of their support of Trump.

“It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all of these individual things, they can do it on a state basis,” he said, adding the focus had to be “military protection.”

And what are his plans for his weaponized DOJ?

This fiscal year, the White House said it would cut domestic spending by $73 billion, or about 10 percent. The administration also said it would ask Congress for a series of boosts to federal law enforcement, including more than $40 billion for the Justice Department, a 13 percent increase.

MAGA spokesperson Ben Dover says: "Winning! Yes, please give it to us nice and hard President Trump".

Something we are used to in Michigan. The last "JC" Gov we had gave Proles multiple waves of spending cuts and tax increases, to give more to the rich. With the Dem vote split this fall, we will almost certainly, have another "JC" Gov. Proles need to buckle up for more program cuts and tax increases, to further enrich the rich.
