Tariffs have brought in $181.6 billion. Less than what has been wasted in Ukraine. And we Americans are paying those tariffs. Is there a ledger somewhere that shows where TRILLIONS "have already been taken in"?

Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. "No new wars" Trump wants to control it with a puppet leader. If you're naive enough to think that the U.S. government cares about the Venezuelan people living under "Socialism"... Don't forget that the U.S. government finances genocide in Gaza...sent a half million Ukrainians to their graves ... and wiped out about 1 million Iraqis based on complete lies. (And that's just the most recent stuff). The U.S. government is not humanitarian by any stretch of the imagination.

Why pretend anymore by using the word "defense"? Clearly the U.S. military hasn't been about defense since when, the War of 1812?
