Trump just hit the 'delete' button on $810 million of taxpayer money
The White House is playing a high-stakes game of keep-away with funds Congress already signed off on.
So, Donald Trump decided that a massive chunk of change approved by Congress shouldn't actually be spent. He’s putting a stop to $810 million in government funding, effectively telling the legislative branch to go talk to the wall. The kicker is that some of his own allies are whispering that this whole move might be straight-up illegal.
It’s the classic executive branch flex: ignore the rules and see who has the guts to sue you. Watching the party leadership scramble to figure out if the President can just unilaterally decide where the money goes is peak political theater. The math is simple, but the legal headache is massive.
It turns out the checkbook doesn't always belong to the people holding the pen.
