Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's budget outline is "dead on arrival" and that proposed cuts to State Department funding "would be a disaster."

"It's dead on arrival. It's not going to happen. It would be a disaster," Graham said.

He said that if Trump limits the State Department's ability to exercise "soft power" he is "never going to win the war."

"What's most disturbing about the cut in the State Department's budget, it shows a lack of understanding," Graham said.

No money for 'soft power'? Invest in small arms and ammo, definitely more ammunition to deliver 'hard power'. And planes and drones too.
