Sen. Tommy Tuberville advocated for budget cuts in the Department of Defense on Fox News's The Ingraham Angle, claiming the $850 billion budget is inflated and filled with waste. He suggested reconfiguring the Pentagon’s budget structure to a 'trigon', citing inefficiencies and encouraging cuts that focus on supporting warfighters instead. Tuberville's perspective emerged in the context of a larger budget increase supported by Trump, highlighting ongoing concerns about accountability and spending in the military sector, especially after the Pentagon's failure to pass audits repeatedly.
We have to start in the Pentagon. We need to make a trigon—three sides instead of five sides of the Pentagon. It is way too big, way over-bloated.
There’s a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse inside the Pentagon spending craziness. We need to cut back and do it for the warfighter.
