Trump's 2027 budget proposal

President Trump's new budget reflects a major shift toward a wartime economy, prioritizing the Pentagon over social services.

The plan includes $152 million to restore the notorious Alcatraz prison and $10 billion for beautification projects in Washington DC. Critics argue the proposal does little to address the nation's long-term fiscal challenges and could worsen the federal deficit.

Supporters, however, claim the surge in military spending is necessary to counter global threats and modernize the armed forces.

The budget is expected to face intense scrutiny in Congress as the midterm elections approach.
