Was this one of the 5 steps to autocracy?

Trust but verify would have to be in full effect.

If we ever want to get serious about deficits, defense has to be cut significantly.
Among other things of course, but defense shouldn't be a sacred cow.
Another in a long line of unrealistic ideas.

You mean like dropping a nuke in a hurricane, bleaching away COVID, those types of ideas?
Still remember the look on that lady COVID advisor when he was talking about the bleach cure.
In Trump’s defense, he hasn’t missed a beat when it comes to asinine ideas

Because he knows not one of the three including us will do it. It’s for show to morons like you.

That is awesome.
Granted, China would just reclassify half of its military as a civil service agency.
Awesome for those that have no idea how the military operates or how it’s structured

Reply below. We need to change how we are preparing for war.
Personal opinions, of course. Feel free to critique.
Elon could make the military 10X as formidable for half the cost.
His SpaceX rockets are 1/10 the cost of NASAs, for example.
Come on. You have no idea what you’re talking about…
I know it’s not popular amongst you Trumpers, but the military is the most formidable than it has ever been. Space X has made some amazing gains, but it’s a far cry from gutting the entire military. Stay in your lane
Like that ever stops him?

Military needs to prepare for the next war, not the last one.
More than a new aircraft carrier group, we need modern, fast, stealthy drones, not just in the air, but on land and sea and space.
Perhaps more importantly, we need to rebuild our domestic manufacturing.
China now : US before WWII :: the US now : Germany before WWII.
The US military and the Russian military were outclassed by Germany, maneuvering unit to maneuvering unit, as of 1938...just as the China military is outclassed by us now. But we know who won the WWII...the military that was outclassed, but had the backing of superior nanufacturing.
That's why I'm willing to tolerate these tariffs. We need to on-shore heavy manufacturing, tech manufacturing, and drug manufacturing.
You don’t think the military isn’t preparing for the next war?…
Drones? We have the best drone program in the world. We’ve used drones in combat situations many times. I have no fear that we’re behind in any way when it comes to unmanned aerial and land vehicles. I know this because I’ve seen it.
The US military industrial complex is the most formidable in the world. If a major/world war broke out, there is no doubt in my mind that we’d dominate just as we did in WWII.
I agree that we should bring manufacturing back to the US. Military R&D and manufacturing will always be here. I’m taking about the other things you mentioned.
Good to hear, and agree on need to bring back non-military mfg.
