What are the details of Trump's proposed 2027 budget?
In the midst of a catastrophic war in Iran, Donald Trump has announced his catastrophic 2027 budget. And folks, this is not getting enough attention. Donald Trump is demanding that he receive $1.5 trillion as the 2027 military budget. Now, Donald Trump's prior military budget, which was a massive increase of former President Biden's $800 billion military budget, was $1 trillion last year spent on military spending. And now Donald Trump essentially wants a 42% increase year over year to make that number $1.5 trillion. Meanwhile, non-defense spending would be cut by $73 billion or 10%. Perhaps even more, folks, this would be the largest year-over-year increase for military spending since World War II.
And you all recall that Donald Trump held a press conference at the end of last week where he said, our country's too big. We're involved in too many wars now where we can't spend money on social programs, on Medicaid, Medicare, on Social Security.
How does Trump's military budget compare to previous years?
Those should all be destroyed and eliminated, Donald Trump basically said. And instead, all the money should go to funding wars. I'll show you that in a moment. But I want to dig deeper into this disastrous budget because here in the Midas Touch Network, we get into the weeds. We reveal the secrets. We talk about things that aren't getting enough attention anywhere else. So let's do that right now. Donald Trump is demanding close to $200 million, technically $152 million, but lots of people believe that will be increased, to rebuild Alcatraz and to turn Alcatraz, which is a museum right now, into a super prison, as Donald Trump is calling it. And what else is Donald Trump spending? What else does he want your taxpayer dollars to go to?
Well, you know how Donald Trump's been saying, oh, well, we're spending no money at all on the ballroom or White House renovations. It's all of my rich billionaire friends who are the ones paying for the ballroom. B.S. Donald Trump plans to spend $377 million on what's being referred to as executive residence renovations, plus $174 million more in miscellaneous funding. And that doesn't even include potential classified funding, which could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars
What are the implications of Trump's budget cuts on social programs?
if not billions of your taxpayer dollars, for the secret bunker that the Midas Touch Network was the first to report about it under the East Wing that was demolished. We reported about it five months ago. You dig in, you can see in these line items, and we've analyzed them. potentially $1 billion to $2 billion when you add up what could be going down in the underground bunker, plus the $450, $500 million in White House renovations that taxpayers are paying for right now. um just take a look remember five was five months ago we were the first to report this secret bunker exposed underneath the ballroom and then we did a report three months ago it's under the ballroom and i just remember there were so many people who were like okay you're being hyperbolic secret bunkers that's what they're doing the secret bunkers
That's my voice of people mocking us. But we were right. It's just funny because 12 hours ago, the New York Times did a story on this. What to know about the massive military bunker beneath Trump's ballroom. Trump's been talking about the emergency facility beneath what was once the East Wing. Details which are usually kept secret as he tries to justify his renovation. So that underneath portion as well. Yeah, who do you think's paying for that? Also, the 2027 budget proposal calls for spending close to $650 million, technically 605, but again, based on some of the ways this is written, it seems like it'll be closer to 650, but $650 million on National Guard mobilization in Washington, D.C. Also, $75 billion more to ICE, including these massive concentration camp facilities they call detention spaces, these 100,000 single adult bed factories that look like these Amazon factories, 30,000 family unit beds,
$15.4 billion for transportation to move people to concentration camps, 67% increase in ICE staffing through 2029.
