Trump’s National Guard Deployments Costing $93 Million a Month

The Congressional Budget Office has released a report estimating that President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to US cities cost taxpayers at least $496 million in 2025. The report further indicates that the price tag is rising to a rate of $93 million per month. The deployment of National Guard troops was part of the administration's response to protests and civil unrest in various cities across the United States. The high cost of this operation has drawn attention to the significant financial implications of such deployments, particularly during times of domestic tension and civil unrest. The report provides a detailed breakdown of the expenses, highlighting the substantial resources required to maintain a substantial National Guard presence in urban areas for an extended period. The findings raise questions about the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of this approach in addressing complex social and political issues.
