It’s a tactic to get them behind his psychotic agenda. “Back me, and this order goes away”.

Basically, 'If you don't support me in whatever crazy shit I do, I will remove your riches."

And, that is the only thing that will make most people in this nation do exactly that. Just threaten their money, and they will always fold.

People may die, but don't threaten their money. Cities will become wastelands, but don't threaten their money. Whole minorities are being persecuted, but don't threaten their money.

I would throw up if I had something in my stomach to throw up.

Stream for the continued robbery of American tax dollars.

to do for him?
We all know he couldn’t give a shit what they make.

I agree these bigwigs make more money than they should... and usually at a loss to the lower levels of employees. But since when did the MIC become fair game?! (LOL)

Of course, he's all but hollowed out the military with his continuing purges. We'll see women being discharged en masse soon enough, as well. All the money he's allocating goes to nominally paying members, etc. but I do believe a lion's share of those billions is black project money or straight off the top grift. Besides, didn't he steal money from DoD to rebuild the plane the ME gave him? With DoD contracts, money is NOT fungible. It has been very strictly tracked and kept in the lane to which it belonged. This stealing from peter to pay paul is typical of his deadbeat style.
