- President Trump's 2027 budget proposes $1.5 trillion for defense, a 44% increase, alongside a 10% cut in non-defense domestic programs.
- The budget prioritizes defense, immigration enforcement, air traffic control, and national parks, while cutting green energy, housing, and health programs, labeling some as 'woke'.
- The proposal faces opposition from Democrats and requires Congressional approval, which is uncertain given current spending debates and partisan divisions.
