Trump Urges GOP To Lock In Military Funding Before Dems Take Over

President Donald Trump called on Senate leaders to immediately advance a $350 billion military funding bill before Democrats take control of both the House and the Senate in January.

Trump delivered his request in a Thursday post to his Truth Social platform, warning that the incoming Democrat majority intends to “BLOCK and RESIST” what he called a “historic investment in our National Security.”

“I rebuilt our Military in my First Term, and we’re doing it AGAIN, bigger and better than ever before!” Trump began. “The Radical Democrat Majority in the next Congress has already made it clear that their Number One Agenda is to BLOCK and RESIST this historic investment in our National Security. They want to leave our Warriors weak, and unguarded, but the American People want their Warriors SAFE and STRONG.”

The request adds military funding to Republicans’ agenda for their final weeks in control of Congress, as Democrats prepare to take power with promises to investigate Trump and members of his administration.

“That’s why TODAY I am calling on Senate Leadership to IMMEDIATELY move on the 350 Billion Dollar Reconciliation Bill to give our brave Warriors the DECISIVE ADVANTAGE they deserve. Our Military must be strong, powerful, and respected,” Trump added, concluding, “Republicans must deliver for our Warriors. The Democrats never will. The time is NOW. MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!”

Trump’s warning comes just days after ousted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) launched a last-ditch effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth on his way out the door. Massie’s impeachment articles drew no other Republican support and were referred to the Judiciary Committee on a 211-204 procedural vote, effectively killing them, after 11 Democrats missed the vote.

The reaction from Democrats to their colleagues who missed the vote — several of whom blamed their absence on a traffic jam near Capitol Hill — suggested that they could make another run at the War Secretary as soon as they take control of Congress.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) has been vocal about his plans to target Hegseth since before last week’s midterm elections. Other Democrats have identified Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Trump himself as targets.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) has set his sights on exposing and investigating the civilian donors — some of whom had chosen to remain anonymous — who contributed to the new White House ballroom project.

Democrats gained control of both chambers with sweeping wins in last week’s elections, campaigning largely on kitchen-table issues like gas prices and affordability. But since Election Night, they have advertised another priority: investigations into Trump and those in his orbit.
