Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him​


Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

When the Trump administration canceled more than $7.5 billion in Biden-era federal grants for clean energy projects in October, it framed the move as an urgent corrective to protect taxpayer funds from waste.

But it wasn’t true.

In little-noticed court documents, federal officials acknowledged this month that they had terminated the funding “based solely” on political criteria, targeting projects in states that were represented by Democrats and had voted for Kamala Harris, the party’s presidential nominee, in the 2024 election.

The admission showed how President Trump has weaponized the provision of federal education, energy, health, housing and infrastructure aid in his second term. Far from rooting out the sort of misspending that Mr. Trump sees as rife in Washington, the White House has instead sought to leverage the budget as a tool to assist its allies — or as a cudgel to hurt the president’s foes.

I must have wandered into the wrong country. I thought a president was supposed to follow law, work for the people -- ALL the people, not just his voters -- and protect and preserve both the Constitution AND the citizens. Not just MAGATs.

When the Democrats take over, I fully support arresting Trump and gifting him to Iran to appease and end all conflict.

Ra-men, Brother Jade, ra-men. So mote it be.

Before then, when the (D)s take control of both houses this fall, I fully expect that impeachment proceedings will be started for this and his other crimes. We can start with wasting $14M of the taxpayers' money on his failed pool project. Then there's the massively costly East Wing destruction, the Rose Garden destruction. Too bad we can't impeach him for his execrable taste and make him pay to get rid of all that gauche fake gilt in the WH.
