President Donald Trump has announced a staggering $1 trillion defense budget, marking the largest in U.S. history, while citing “bad forces” threatening national security. The Pentagon budget jump comes amid sweeping federal spending cuts led by the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk. Trump defended the increase during a meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu, stressing military readiness over cost-saving. Despite years of audit failures, the Pentagon is set to prioritize defense lethality, drones, and border security—further escalating a global arms race while slashing civilian government jobs.
