Trump proposes record defense budget
President Trump's latest fiscal roadmap prioritizes a massive military buildup amid the ongoing war in Iran, representing the largest defense surge since World War II. The proposal seeks to eliminate various 'woke' initiatives and diversity programs while shifting funds toward border security and military readiness.
Critics have pointed to the lack of data regarding the national debt, expressing concern over the long-term economic impact of such high spending.
The budget also includes unconventional requests, such as $152 million to restore Alcatraz Island as a high-security federal prison.
