That's what I would tell you to do.

That's why we're sending $600 million to Ukraine and the national defense authors, which I didn't vote for.
I wanted to give our military more money, military fighting men more money, but I didn't want to give the war pimps any more reason to Ukraine or any of these other wars we're in.
No.
And the interesting thing about the $600 million, I was told by our leadership and in our conference that the president had requested that.
