Trump has a list of specific increases he’d make to military force structure. According to his website, he’d “increase the size of the U.S. Army to 540,000 active duty soldiers,” “rebuild the U.S. Navy toward a goal of 350 ships,” “provide the U.S. Air Force with the 1,200 fighter aircraft they need,” and “grow the U.S. Marine Corps to 36 battalions.”
The National Taxpayer’s Union has estimated that Trump’s proposals would cost at least $16 billion a year in additional spending.
1. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects:
Trump will add $5.3 trillion to the debt in the next decade.
2. The Tax Policy Center projects:
Trump's tax plan alone will add at least $7 trillion in the next decade.

His tax plan would also increase the deficit by a few billion, last I checked, which was confirmed by some conservative economics group as well.

At least Trump talks about the issues...Hillary does not . She follows the Alinsky tactics only . Deflect , Defer , Deride , and Divide. Otherwise , Hillary is totally worthless as a human...

Yeah but he is also not going to send Isreal and other countries billions in aid for nothing. So lets call that a wash.
