Trump Is Giving This Country Its Identity Back

One could easily argue that the use of these would then require the US to buy more to keep its stockpile at that 3000-4000 range. The use of them is not some new thing and every President does it, but not every President has out of the gate proposed a budget that slashes numerous relatively small budget programs that directly aid Americans. So when you drop $200-300m worth of explosives in a 2 week span, people can rightfully question why we can't spend that same amount to fund libraries and museums for our citizens. 

If the Trump administration hadn't argued that we need to slash domestic programs, I doubt there would have been the same reaction. The amount of money we spend on his golf trips every weekend, protecting his adult children when they do personal business overseas, and protecting his wife and child as they live in a golden tower hundreds of miles away from him also make him a prime critic for all spending.
