Trump proposes $1.5 trillion budget

President Trump's latest fiscal roadmap prioritizes the ongoing war with Iran through a historic surge in the Pentagon's budget.

To fund this military expansion, the proposal targets social safety nets and domestic initiatives that many struggling Americans rely on.

Lawmakers have reacted sharply to the proposal, which also includes specific requests for $10 billion in Washington D.C. beautification and the reopening of Alcatraz.

Critics argue the budget does little to address long-term fiscal challenges while significantly transforming the nature of the presidency.
