Trump White House rescinds freeze on federal grants, reversing course

[The Duke]

By Trump or did you know my dad?!?

By Trumpy Bear!

 

[Billiejeens]

I haven't seen where he admitted he was wrong, I don't EVER expect to see that.

Where do you think that he was wrong?

 

[Billiejeens]

You've figured it out but didn't realize you did

Next, he might figure out that we don't actually spend $2,000.00 for a hammer.

Omy, yeah I saw that scroll by live once.
And it was just like that. It was $70 for a hammer at the time, but I have no doubt some $2000 ones or more have been bought since. By the scores. Anybody see that F-35 crash?

Trump White House rescinds memo freezing federal money after widespread confusion

President Donald Trump’s budget office rescinded an order freezing spending on federal grants, less than two days after it sparked widespread confusion and legal challenges across the country, according to two people familiar with the matter.

This buffoonery, after all that preparation, serves to remind us these folks are clowns pretending to be capable. The names have changed from trump 1.0 but not the competence. In their eagerness to change every aspect of American life they have overstepped, acted illegally, tried to change the Constitution with the stroke of a sharpie, and are being met with increasing resistance.

Only one thing is missing. The realization on the part of some Repubs that returning the orange ass hat to the WH was a colossal lapse of judgement.

Based on the lefts responses on X, he's doing great work now.

You'll need to tap dance much faster than that to cover for Dotard's reckless incompetence.

Never touched entitlement spending. Your media has triggered you into a grand Mal once again.

Colombia came to pick up their immigrants rather than have Shitler! make a circus of it.

Shitler just saved millions in flight costs...........

Even though it’s very very obvious that your fuhrer rushed into this with no plan of any sort, heedless to the impact.

Sure it wasn't your reaction to media spin and lies, again?

Much confusion going on at the WH. Keystone cops.

Much confusion going on in reporting more like it. No entitlement spending was ever frozen, the EO explained what was and your media either read it and lied or were to stupid to read it and go on gut impulses aka 'we hate Trump and can't help ourselves'.

I haven't seen where he admitted he was wrong, I don't EVER expect to see that.

You won't, He did nothing wrong, you fell for your media spin and lies, again.....or still.

I'm not triggered and yes the media of that blonde press secretary I saw on TV yesterday said "The Memo put out is rescinded but the freeze is still on" What the fuck don't you people understand that she said it. So she or trump not know what they are talking about? Confusion, yes.

 

[Delldude]

Doesn't appear like that. You haven't come to grips with and at that point, neither did the media, that the memo and the freeze were two different issues.

Go look at your media's headlines, they're all over the place with knee jerk reporting not based on the facts.

What the fuck don't you people understand that she said it.

Quite simple, entitlements spending was never cut. Period. Media reporting was wrong. They had the EO.

So she or trump not know what they are talking about? Confusion, yes.

Your trusted media triggered the planet and you, as always...............

I looked at her and her lips and heard very clearly what she said. So dell GFY. She is a press secretary on national TV which is media.

Which time?

"There's no uncertainty in this building," Leavitt said when asked to clarify about exactly what programs will be impacted.
_______________
"Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause," she said.
________________
"Funds for small businesses, farmers, Pell grants, Head Start, rental assistance, and other similar programs will not be paused," the document read. "If agencies are concerned that these programs may implicate the President’s Executive Orders, they should consult OMB to begin to unwind these objectionable policies without a pause in the payments."

Trump White House tries to clarify confusion over abrupt federal assistance freeze

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, during her first press briefing, faced a barrage of questions on the administration's freeze on federal aid programs.

Karoline Leavitt​

Well, I think there's only uncertainty in this room amongst the media. There's no uncertainty in this building. So, let me provide the certainty and the clarity that all of you need. This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs from the Trump administration. Individual assistance, that includes -- I'm not naming everything that's included, but just to give you a few examples -- Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause.

That is something that President Trump campaigned on. That's why he has launched DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, who is working alongside OMB. And that's why OMB sent out this memo last night, because the president signed an executive order directing OMB to do just this. And the reason for this is to ensure that every penny that is going out the door is not conflicting with the executive orders and actions that this president has taken.

So, what does this pause mean? It means no more funding for illegal DEI programs. It means no more funding for the green new scam that has cost American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. It means no more funding for transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies, no more funding for Green New Deal social engineering policies.

Again, people who are receiving individual assistance, you will continue to receive that and President Trump is looking out for you by issuing this pause because he is being a good steward of your taxpayer dollars.
____________________
No, absolutely not. As it says right here in the memo, which I have and I'd encourage all of you to you to read it, it says the American people elected President Trump to be the president of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal dollar. This memo requires federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the president's policies and requirements.

So dell GFY.

Is this how you respond to your heath care clients............

She is a press secretary on national TV which is media.

That is very true, your problem is the media over reacted without stopping to smell the roses........

 

[krichton]

It's not the Trump White House sending $50 billion to Gaza, moron.
That's USAID stealing American taxpayer money to give to the palestinians for rockets and bombs.
There are no rubbers. There's just money and things Palestinians want to buy to kill Jews with.

When did I say the Trump white house sent 50 million dollars worth of condoms to Gaza? Why was this first assumption? You are truly a dummy among dummies.

Would you be surprised to learn that there is zero evidence that a single condom has ever been shipped to Gaza, much less 50 million dollars worth, which when purchased in bulk by USAID would cost 5 cents a piece, which works out to 1 billion condoms. Did the US really send 1 billion condoms to Gaza? Cmon, it's a gross lie. No one should expect anything else coming out of the Trump white house.

STFU, retard.

 

[krichton]

Isn't USAID a CIA front organization?

CIA and lie to being mentioned together......duh.

This where you wackos lose it every time. It's when you delve into your own delusions and conspiracy theories.

 

[krichton]

STFU, retard.

It was typo, you dummy. It was supposed to read, no one should expect anything less coming out of this white house. Anyone with a brain would have figured out the last sentence was mistyped, as it made zero sense on it's own, nor within the entire context of my whole post. Why would I claim the 5 day old Trump white house sent 50 million dollars worth of condoms to Gaza after his own press secretary made up this criticism, and then me calling it out as a lie? Time to go back to remedial english.
