MAGA Mike PANICS over PERMANENT SHUTDOWN of HOUSE?!!
What was said
"Donald Trump has just recently posted that he now wants $350 billion for the Defense Department as part of what he's calling Reconciliation 3.0. Now, previously, the Trump regime said all they needed was $67 billion, which is not really a little amount, but they said they needed $67 billion because the Defense Department could not pay its bills arising out of the catastrophic war in Iran."
President Trump dramatically increased his defense spending request from $67 billion to $350 billion in what he calls Reconciliation 3.0, citing military needs arising from operations in Iran. The host argues Trump is intentionally setting an unpassable threshold to create legislative gridlock while escalating military action in the Middle East. Trump framed the request alongside his Save America Act as the number one priority for Congress.
