- Defense stocks dropped sharply Thursday afternoon after President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. could massively cut defense spending.
- Trump has sent mixed messages on military spending throughout his 2024 campaign and in the early days of his presidency.
They’re going to 25 him if he goes close to do it.
More than this, the idea that the US will reduce defense spending at the same time as others are increasing it is laughable.

And another enemy agent is working right alongside him, hollowing out entire departments and agencies.
Oh no, that would be a tragedy…/s
