Trump: The Generals Are Going To Be Very Happy Because Military Budget’s Going Up Yet Again This Year

‘The fact is we have increased your budget from not too much to $700 billion’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “That’s pretty good stuff, huh? That’s pretty good stuff. Even your fire engine looks pretty good. The fact is we have increased your budget from not too much to $700 billion. And then from $700 billion, we went up to $716 billion. And I won’t tell you this year’s surprise, but the generals are going to be very happy when they hear because it’s going up yet again. Because we have no choice. You know I'm a cost-cutter, but we have no choice. Without a military, what do we have? We have to have a great military. And you noticed your equipment has been getting better and better, newer and newer. When I got in here, you were having jet fighters that were so old that — you know, you heard the story, the grandfather flew some of the planes, some of the bombers. The grandfather. Then the sun, then the grandchild is here with us now. I don’t like that. I don’t like that. So we have ordered massive numbers of new planes and new everything."
