Trump’s defense budget is cutting fat and building muscle

Imagine your friend hits the gym. He cuts junk food and starts lifting, and suddenly he’s up 5 pounds — but now it’s muscle, not flab. The scale doesn’t tell the story. The guy looks better, moves faster, and is 10 times tougher. That’s exactly what President Donald Trump is doing with the U.S. military.

The same media that cried about mean tweets is now freaking out over a “$1 trillion” defense budget. They see the number and shout “Hypocrisy!” They say Trump promised to drain the swamp, so why is defense spending higher?
