Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.

Analysis Summary
Trump's 2027 defense budget request totals $1.5 trillion, representing the largest military spending increase since WWII, with roughly 45-55% flowing to private defense contractors—a sector in which Trump's sons hold equity stakes in drone company Powerus. The budget prioritizes military expansion over traditional social spending, though the long-term trend Reich describes requires broader historical analysis beyond this single fiscal cycle. Congress has expressed skepticism about the proposal, and the Pentagon has failed eight consecutive audits, raising questions about budget stewardship.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Over half of defense spending flows to private contractors”
Pentagon outsourcing to private contractors represents approximately 45-55% of defense budget depending on fiscal year and accounting method.
“Trump's sons are major investors in drone manufacturers”
AP confirmed Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. hold equity stakes in Powerus, a drone company actively pitching to Gulf states for defense contracts.
“Trump's latest budget represents 40 years of increasing social control”
Framed as interpretive commentary on budget priorities. The factual premise (large military budgets, contractor dominance) is verified; the characterization as 'social control' is analytical interpretation.
