President Trump grades his first month in office
While the rest of us thought former President Barack Obama was going on daddy-daughter dates, getting a tan and enjoying coffee runs as a citizen, he’s been plotting against the man.
President Donald Trump was still working Monday evening on the final touches of an address to Congress that will focus on economic opportunity and national security, administration officials said.
The Pentagon is due for a huge boost, as Trump promised during the campaign. “When I was young, in high school and college, people used to say we never lost a war”.
Making his announcement via Twitter on Saturday, he wrote: “I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year”. The White House had no immediate comment.
Asked how he will pay for his proposed increase in defense spending, Mr. Trump suggested he might not need to cut from other agencies like the State Department.
Trump then suggested that Obama’s “group” is behind the leaks he has been railing against.
One of the officials said Trump’s request for the Pentagon included more money for shipbuilding, military aircraft and establishing “a more robust presence in key worldwide waterways and chokepoints” such as the Strait of Hormuz and South China Sea.
‘There are hundreds and hundreds of jobs that are totally unnecessary jobs, ‘ Trump added. We sell into them – because we don’t sell in, because the taxes are so high that they don’t want us to sell into them.
“I think it’s obviously both”, Fleischer responded.
Several anonymous officials told outlets to expect heavy cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency’s .3 billion budget, as well as the roughly .4 billion we spend on foreign aid.
“You’re not going to see cuts to programs that require us to build things like: building waste water facilities, building facilities for clean water”.
However in the same interview, Mr Trump acknowledged that he may have not communicated his policies well enough to the American people during his first month in office, but hopes to reverse that in a historic speech to Congress today.
