The National Guard deployment to Washington, D.C., is expected to cost taxpayers over $1.4 billion in additional funds through 2029. During the confirmation process for Jules Hurst III, Donald Trump's nominee to be the Pentagon’s comptroller, Senator Elizabeth Warren stated that the spending was wasteful and tied it to political stunts. The requested budget for Trump's Make DC Safe and Beautiful mission for the next fiscal year would total $605 million.
