'Bigger and better than ever': Trump pushes $350B military bill as GOP's Senate clock runs out
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump fired off several Truth Social posts on Thursday, November 12, targeting Democrats over their planned corruption investigations into his administration.
In one of many posts, Trump called on Senate leadership to push a $350 billion reconciliation bill. He said that he had rebuilt the military in his first term and would do it again, calling Democrats radicals whose agenda is to block investment in national security.
BREAKING: President Trump CALLS ON Senate Leadership to IMMEDIATELY move on the $350B reconciliation bill for the military, WARNING the "Radical Democrat Majority" in the next Congress plan to BLOCK and RESIST it. "Republicans must deliver for our Warriors. The Democrats never will. The time is NOW." Trump wrote on Truth Social: “I rebuilt our Military in my First Term, and we’re doing it AGAIN, bigger and better than ever before! The Radical Democrat Majority in the next Congress has already made it clear that their Number One Agenda is to BLOCK and RESIST this historic investment in our National Security. They want to leave our Warriors weak, and unguarded, but the American People want their Warriors SAFE and STRONG. That’s why TODAY I am calling on Senate Leadership to IMMEDIATELY move on the 350 Billion Dollar Reconciliation Bill to give our brave Warriors the DECISIVE ADVANTAGE they deserve. Our Military must be strong, powerful, and respected. Republicans must deliver for our Warriors. The Democrats never will. The time is NOW. MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump wants JD Vance to focus on blue state corruption
Earlier Thursday, Trump took on Democrats over their reported plan to initiate a probe into corruption allegations against his administration, stating that billions of dollars are being stolen each month in blue states.
I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood! We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT ( TS: Nov 12 2026, 8:07 AM ET )

President Trump announced that he has asked Vice President JD Vance to give his undivided attention to the money being stolen in blue states, including Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more.
“I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the US,” Trump wrote.
Accusing blue states of stealing billions "each and every month," Trump added that the budget could be balanced with "correction of this large scale criminal activity."
“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” Trump wrote as he concluded the post.
In another similar post, Trump said that if Democrats want to “root out corruption,” they should investigate the most corrupt governmental structures on the entire earth, that is, blue states.
