Now, Newsweek reveals that the Trump administration has ramped up its spending on certain weapons for DHS staff compared to that spent by previous administrations. According to federal procurement data, the government has spent $5,010,584 on chemical weapons since Trump secured the keys to the White House in January 2025. This is almost as much in around 11 months as the $6,821,592 former President Joe Biden spent during his whole administration, between 2021 and 2025. It is also around 11 times the $447,555 that the Trump's first administration spent between 2017 and 2021.
