President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not that I trust a thing Cheney says, but...

 

Yeah, keep 'em ignorant.

Trump administration proposes $7.1 billion funding decrease to Education Department

 

No more lobster in the cafeterias.

 

The last impeachment polling had higher support for it now than it did for Nixon less than six months before he resigned. 43 percent think he should be removed - about where Nixon was at in March of '74 - (Dems had both houses then).

 

Trump's budget: Winners and losers

Interesting reading.

No problem with giving the troops a raise or paid family medical leave. The carve out for private schools and Jack Nicklaus' hospital seems quite generous - a $20 mil mobile hospital. Seems like the kind of thing Trump could pass the hat at Mar A Lago for in exchange for "favors."

 

With 60 million Brown Shirts at his beck and call, his ego won’t allow him to go quietly.

 

The Nicklaus hospital is probably the only thing in that budget Trump put in himself (and by the way is the kind of earmark Congress got rid of to its own detriment, nothing scandalous at all). A guy who won't/can't read two-page briefings without graphs and pictures is not about to delve into a federal budget. The rest is a Mick Mulvaney and House Freedom Caucus fever dream.
