I will state it again.

- Trump made every dept under his control cut their budget. nope, DOD says hello. Oh.. and Trump committed to at least $0.75 trillion in military spending in 2020... up 150 billion from just 3 years ago

- Trump saved 700 Million for the f-35 deal "According to a five-page Lockheed Martin summary of the program, “In 2014, the DoD announced an industry-led effort called ‘Blueprint for Affordability’ and expanded the effort in 2016 from a $1.8 billion to a $4 billion savings initiative. Also in 2016, it announced the Sustainment Cost Reduction Initiative to save an additional $1 billion savings through 2022. “The goal of these programs is to drive the cost of an F-35A to less than $85 million in 2019, where it will be equivalent to, or less, than any fourth-generation fighter,” the Lockheed summary continued."

- Trump doesn't take a salary. True. 400k a year saved.
