Despite pledges to slash federal spending, President Donald Trump’s return to the White House has seen a $220 billion increase in government expenditures compared to the same period in 2024, according to a CBS News analysis. This jump contradicts Trump’s campaign vow to reduce government costs. Trump had created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, claiming $170 billion in savings. However, these figures have not been independently verified.
