What the fuck would you do? $93 billion – man-o-man, that’s a fuckton 'o' clams, innit?
Perpetually Pissdrunk Pete burned through $93 billion in September. And what did he spend all that dough on? Did he use it to improve the lives of the 1.3 million active-duty military, 825,000 National Guard/Reserve, and 600,000 civilians who work for the Department of Defense?
Well, I don’t know. Let’s look at some of his purchases, shall we? What'd he buy?
- A $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home.
- He bought a $21,750 custom flute from Muramatsu. For who? Why?
- 400 brand new iPads at $315,200 He couldn’t get Androids? I mean, iPads are great but they are pricey.
- $3,160 worth of stickers of children's television characters, like Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer.
Then there’s the food.- $1 million on salmon
- $2 million for Alaskan king crab
- $6.9 million worth of lobster tail
- $15.1 million for ribeye steak
- $124,000 for ice cream machines
- $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts
Now, I certainly don’t begrudge a little luxury to soldiers going off to hot war zones (IF that’s who're actually getting to enjoy the crab, lobster tail, steak, doughnuts, and ice cream) BUT, just a month later, tens of millions of fellow Americans lost their SNAP benefits in the longest government shutdown in history.
To which “war zones” were our soldiers deployed in September or October of 2025?
- Chicago’s Operation Midway Blitz (this admin does love these ridiculously hokey titles) but that was primarily ICE – Homeland Security, not Defense.
- 200 National Guard were sent Portland, Oregon for some odd reason.
- In Memphis, Tennessee:
At least nine National Guard troops began their patrol at the Bass Pro Shops located at the Pyramid, an iconic landmark in Memphis. They were being escorted by a Memphis police officer and posed for photos with visitors who were standing outside.
It was unclear how many Guard members were on the ground or were expected to arrive later. (source)
Apparently the purpose of the domestic deployments were nothing more than dick swinging, ego flexing, attempts to scare the crap out of us citizens – make us all cower in fear and bow down to Dear Orange Leader.
Didn't work and also, fuck that shit with a rusty steel spork!
There was an actual big troop buildup in the Caribbean but it wasn’t until later in October. Presumably, this was in advance of our attack on/invasion of Venezuela (remember that?).
Anyway, back to Keg Boy’s spending spree.
He spent $225 million on new furniture which included $60,000 for designer reclining chairs, $26,000 for sushi preparation tables, and $12,000 for fruit basket stands. Fruit basket stands? Who the fuck needs fruit basket stands?!!! And $12,000 worth of them???? Of course, this is also the man who had a makeup room built for himself in the Pentagon at a cost to us taxpayers of $40,000. The man should NOT be trusted with someone else’s credit card.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a bipartisan research institution in Washington, analyzed DOW fact sheets, Congressional Budget Office estimates, and statements from government officials to provide an estimate of wartime costs for the operation thus far.
The study concluded that the US has spent around $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million a day, on wartime efforts in the first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury.The most significant expense comes from munitions. CSIS estimated that the US spent $3.1 billion on munitions alone, none of which were budgeted for. (source)
But Pissdrunk Pete had $93 billion to blow on ice cream machines and fruit basket stands.
Trump burned $5.6 billion on munitions alone in the first two days of his unjustified, unauthorized war—
But they don't have money for your health care.

Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month – roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for three years.
