What I think About Trump's $1.5 Trillion War Budget

Published | Video Starts at 17:26

We should be building bridges here in America, not destroying them in Iran. We should be lowering costs here in America, not waging wars that send prices through the roof. We should be fighting a war against cancer, not another war in the Middle East. We should be investing in our working families, not funding whatever new war Trump decides to start. So as we now start our appropriations process for FY27, I'm going to be pressing Trump's cabinet about these backward priorities. (17:26–17:31)

CLAIM

Asserts that resources should be allocated to healthcare and cancer research rather than military conflicts in the Middle East.
