America First? Couple of Workouts

I am a very proud combat veteran of the United States military. I also consider myself very patriotic and I love America. The new White House has released its plan for its budget and I am wondering how it aligns with the "America First" message that the administration has put out. I am certain that after 16+ years of constant combat that the U.S. military is in need of repair and retooling. I also believe that it is only right to spend money to care for our wounded Veterans. I think that investing in infrastructure projects is wise not only to improve our communities but to put people to work. However, after traveling along the U.S.-Mexico border for a couple of weeks a year for the better part of 17 years, spending a crap ton of money on a wall on our southern border is a colossal waste of money and time. To pay for this, the Trump administration is slashing environmental protections, domestic programs and the State Department? I don't get how that is "America First"?
