The way it's worded basically means "they spent on 93 billion on a bunch of shit including the following." It's not exactly false but it could be written better.

It is false. It doesn’t say, “including these things “…..it says spent billions on specifically these things. Which is false.

RTFM. “…included millions for luxury food items (lobster tail and Alaskan king crab), multimillion‑dollar ribeye orders, musical instruments, and small line items such as fruit basket stands, but those line items are drawn from contract data and are a tiny fraction of the $93 billion total.”
