Trump’s Budget Cuts: Targeting NPR, PBS, and More
Hey friend, so you saw Trump’s latest post about budget cuts? Basically, he’s pushing a $9.4 billion rescissions package. Think of it as trying to reclaim money already allocated.
A big chunk of that – the part that’s grabbing headlines – is aimed at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This is the organization that funds PBS and NPR. Trump’s calling them “a Radical Left Disaster” and says they’re completely against the Republican party. He claims this is something Republicans have wanted to do for ages but never managed until now.
He’s framing this within a broader context. The rescissions package also targets foreign aid, specifically what he calls “Radical ‘DEI'” initiatives (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and the Green New Deal. He’s boasting that this, combined with tariffs, deportations, and a strong economy (his words, not necessarily an objective assessment!), will reduce the deficit and balance the budget.
He’s calling the whole rescissions bill a “NO BRAINER” and urging every Republican in Congress to vote for it. It’s definitely a significant move, and whether it passes remains to be seen. Interesting times, right?
