"President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, don't worry about it," Trump told the crowd aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford.
Trump Starts Referring To Himself In Third Person During Incoherent Naval Carrier Speech
During his speech aboard USS Gerald R. Ford on Saturday, Donald Trump veered off course and started referring to himself in the third person.
The moment came when Trump was discussing his proposal to massively increase military spending as part of his disastrous budget blueprint. He told those in the crowd to give him a little hand and call their representatives in Congress.
Video:
Trump said:
Now we need Congress to do its job and pass the budget that provides for higher, stable and predictable funding levels for our military needs that our fighting men and women deserve. And you will get believe me. President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, dont worry about it. But I dont mind getting a little hand, so call that congressman and call that senator and make sure you get it. And by the way, you can also call those senators to make sure you get health care.

While Trumps budget does include massive increases in military spending, which the Pentagon isnt even asking for, it makes devastating cuts to other important areas, including Medicaid, education, and environmental programs.

Note the Pentagon is not asking for more money. This is the laundering scheme that involves the MIC
