He’s going all in this year.
He has to. The Files and midterms are going to be bad for him, he has to keep the pace of escalation.
Trump is hell-bent on bringing about financial collapse of the U.S. sooner rather than later. Defense is ~14% of the U.S. budget, so a 50% boost would be massive. Add in the fact that his “Big Beautiful Bill” has already boosted the budget deficit to ~6%, much greater than U.S. economic growth, that his tariffs and ejection of immigrants are shrinking the economy, and that ~ 1/3 of the national debt comes due in 2026 and will need to be rolled over, and you have a foolproof recipe for financial collapse. In addition, Jerome Powell’s term as fed chair is up in May, so Trump can appoint a lackey to juice rates and engage in quantitative easing (money printing), and there is zero doubt that the dollar will be absolutely obliterated before Trump leaves office. There is a reason we’re in the greatest gold bull market of all time, and it is not because Trump is competent and the U.S. is a stable anchor for the world’s economy.
He’s trying to prep for war
Against us.
And Denmark. And Mexico. And Canada…
For what? They’re already buying shit the military has said for years they don’t need (things like Tanks and APCs) because Congress uses it as a jobs program.
It’s a direct stream of money leaving the taxpayers’ pockets and going straight into military contractors, who bribed the politicians in charge of making this happen in the first place.
Most of the world right now…
Well, of course. He needs a well-funded military to illegally invade all the countries he covets oil and rare earth minerals in.
