Summary

Donald Trump made headlines with his proposals today to build an active Army that will reflect the demands from senior management in the Armed Forces.  Donald Trump was clear that he is looking to develop a defense that puts America first.  The point of his message was, if we're not going to enforce a military strategy that is about winning and we're not ready to equip our soldiers with the latest technology, we shouldn't be waging war to defend America.   The Sean Hannity Show is live Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm ET on iHeart Radio and Hannity.com.
