US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staffβs home, according to a watchdog report
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Trump has known this for days but chose to lie about it. Because thatβs what he does. Thatβs what he is.
