“Catastrophic” – Federal-Reliant Agencies, Non-Profits, Municipal Leaders Reel From Trump Order Pausing Grants And Loans

Thank you for posting the Executive Order that lit a profound pushback yesterday from multiple sources that responded to an unknown appointed official delivering directives that threaten or affect the lives of doubtless more than two-thirds of US citizens, whether they realize it or not at this moment. A Federal court official temporarily paused the process that has promoted fear, concern, and many questions about the predicate “Trump MANDATE”. Where are the details, the facts on which the ORDER was constructed? Doesn’t living in the White House, with Senate and House majorities, and existing numbers of Republican appointments in judicial roles enought to carry the day and the Trump message? Apparently not.

When garnering fewer than 50% of popular votes cast in an election and depending on a narrow range of States where competition has been managed and skewed in some cases out of sight to many voters, and terming it a MANDATE, is that the third BIG LIE to frame President Trump? The first was naturally the Original BIG LIE that the 2020 Election was rigged (and while the best legal brains he retained could not do better than 61 losses in court and 1 marginal win) and all the BIG LIE proponents had four added years to find evidence of their beliefs while not surfacing any facts about widespread ballot abuse sufficient to upset the 2020 election. While campaigning for at least two years for President in the 2024 campaigh, Trump did not surface plans, just concepts about the future, and denied knowing about the Heritage Foundation Project 2025. Isn’t that the SECOND BIG LIE to US citizens though it was published in 2023 and numerous of its’ special chapter authors are currently noted for officialdom?

The reaction to ‘royal decree’ yesterday and rapid steps to cover his retreat ‘temporarily’ substantiates the concept of MANDATE as the third LIE. Contrary to statements in the Order, there was no statement of “Trump administrative priorities” that the Order proposes to advance; focusing $$$ on ‘stronger and safer’ without detail is likely false when combined with philosophical policy that restricts benefits to the few rather than equitably to the many; first day promises, including eliminating inflation composes additional falsity when dealing with eggs or anything else; American energy production at an all time high, manufacturing, efficiency, healthcare, and likely even WW2 (wokeness and weaponization), cannot stand the light of day for governance practices and quality delivery from these orders.

Should we expect to know more about changes? Who pays the bills when you look at the numbers? Is it the rapidly increasing Billionaire class or those of us who work and seek middle class status while supporting those who are more vulnerable? Where can you use your voice to provide answers to the controversy? Time will tell.
