Executive orders were meant for national emergencies. Apparently we're under threat from everyone from whom we have a trade imbalance, even islands with no humans on them!
(And it's not like partisans are locking up Congress to spite him.)
We are literally two days away from Trumpers hating penguins because Trumps people are such amateurs they put tariffs on these islands and now the cult has to defend it.

We were in a (physical) proxy war with Russia via Ukraine until very recently, and we are currently in a digital war against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and probably other nation-states.
Should this be under the purview of the actual military? I don't know, although that arrangement is effective for Israel's cybersecurity command.
Regardless, there is an active need for defense spending now, just not the way we've been spending it.

Would you just start spending when the war starts? Then you'll get a war much sooner (the enemy will see your weakness) but you'll save money (the war will end quickly).
