It was conceptualized and pushed into legislation by Democrats.
PERIOD.

You're the one who's lying, M E M.
In order to get Democrats to cooperate in providing funds to rebuild the military, Trump had to accept a 1.6 trillion budget his first year, in which Dems extorted a lot of wet-dream liberal spending that neither Trump or anyone in the Republican party wanted, as the condition of rebuilding our military. Urgently necessary because the military was so disastrously unprepared. That is how badly Obama and the America-hating Democrats had destroyed our military during 8 years of Obama. Only 40% of our military planes were combat-ready when Trump took office.
