It might be worth noting that the last president to advocate reducing military spending in favor of redirecting that outlay to domestic expenditures (something that almost none of his predecessor did) both in his campaign and his term in office, was Donald Trump. Of course this reality was obscured in the national media and he was vilified for his “withdrawal of American leadership” of the world. And his attempts to implement this approach were resisted by what may be called “the military-industrial complex” with the assistance of the Democratic party. Where was Bernie Sanders when we needed him?
