The United States of America’s defense spending has been by far the largest in the world for decades. It has surpassed the combined total of many other regional powers, such as China and Russia, and even adjusted for population and GDP size, it regularly ranks near the top of the list. For the first time in America’s history, it appears that its military budget may exceed 1 trillion dollars.

This past weekend, hundreds of “No Kings” rallies were held nationwide to protest the Trump administration’s alleged crackdown on civil liberties and democracy. Ironically, one of the rallies took place outside the NIH headquarters, where protesters against Trump’s cuts to medical research chanted, “No Kings, just vaccines!” The majority of these protesters are staunch supporters of the Democratic Party.
