Trump Pushes $1 Trillion Military Budget Amid Rising Tensions with China

President Donald Trump has announced a provisional $1 trillion defense budget, emphasizing the need to strengthen the U.S. military in response to global threats. The move comes as part of a broader strategy to counter China's growing military capabilities and economic influence. Trump criticized China's $600 billion trade surplus with the U.S., warning that it could be used to fund its military expansion. He also threatened to escalate tariffs on Chinese goods to over 100% if Beijing does not reverse recent trade measures. The budget and tariff threats signal a shift in U.S. policy, linking economic and military strategies more directly.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
