Sen. Schumer Opposes Trump’s $275B Defense Spending: Feeding Hungry Kids or Creating Unnecessary Battleships to Put Your Name on Them?
RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: "So on the Trump battleships. While American families can eat, can’t even keep their heads above water. Donald Trump is spending his time building himself a golden fleet of battleships. The navy doesn’t want just get a load of this headline: cost of Trump’s name, namesake warships likely to rise by fifty percent or more costs to rise by fifty percent or.
More, as the article in The New York Times says, his goal of building a golden fleet of 15 battleships could cost two hundred seventy five billion. Frankly, when Americans here this, they have no idea whether they need the battleships they know. The only thing Trump cares about is having his name on things. So the fact that there’s a fleet of Trump battleships costs doesn’t mean anything necessity doesn’t mean anything that people are suffering and need help. Feeding, their families. Paying, their electric bills, paying the cost of gasoline means nothing to him having his name on a bunch of battleships, expensive battleships. Is all he cares about. Trump couldn’t handle renovating a reflecting pool or building a ballroom. Now he thinks he’s ready to design and construct 15 Trump class. I mean this guy. He knows no limits Trump class battleships that will cost more than a quarter of a trillion tax payer dollars a quarter of a trillion dollars he’s had a lot of vanity projects. They have been very expensive. This is the most costly vanity project, yet the navy never wanted these ships. The American people never asked for these ships. The only person who wants these gold and ships is Donald Trump, so we can slap his name on them. Trump’s willingness to drop two hundred seventy five billion dollars on another vanity project, but not a single penny. To, lower costs for working Americans. Just confounds the imagination.
