Trump warns Congress: $1.5 trillion defense budget leaves no room for daycare
President Donald Trump took to the podium this week with a stark message for lawmakers and the American public alike. He urged Congress to move quickly on a $1.5 trillion defense budget, arguing that the nation’s security cannot wait for the usual legislative wrangling. At the same time, he warned that the same federal budget cannot be stretched to cover basic social services such as daycare, framing the two issues as a choice between protecting the country and caring for families.
