Senator Bernie Sanders fired back at President Donald Trump following his war address, which cited the cost of military operations as a reason against funding Medicare.
Sanders argued that instead of spending over a trillion dollars on overseas conflicts, the U.S. should prioritize domestic programs like universal childcare, Medicare for All, and affordable housing, framing it as a true “America First” approach.
The exchange highlights the growing debate over the trade-offs between military spending and domestic social programs, with Sanders using Trump’s own rhetoric to advocate for a shift in national priorities.
