First, it's a violation of the Constitution because the power to spend is in the hands of Congress, not the Executive branch

Second, does this mean his supporters won't get their food stamps this month?

Trump will reduce government spending to 0 and easily pay off the debt.

Hail the infinite leader!

grants and loans are considered discretionary spending, which means the President has more flexibility to influence or freeze these types of expenditures. Unlike mandatory spending (such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid), which is required by law and not subject to annual congressional appropriations, discretionary spending on garbage pork like DEI is subject to the yearly budget process and can be altered through executive orders or administrative decisions.
In this case, President Trump's freeze on grants and loans targets discretionary programs, which are funded each year through appropriations bills passed by Congress. Because the President has the authority over this type of discretionary spending, he can effectively pause or limit how those funds are allocated until a new budget or spending plan is approved.

This also explains why such a freeze would impact things like discretionary federal aid, nonprofits, DEI and various other discretionary programs, but wouldn't  halt mandatory programs like Social Security, or food stamps.

Are you really this upset over DEI losing funding? There's worse things to really get upset about.

Obvious trolling I am sensing.

MAGA dont believe in Sanatana Dharma.

They think they can elect a greedy rapist as president and still have nothing bad happen.

Who doesnt follow Dharma, gets Karma.

His supporters thought they would get a double-wide, instead they got the Gulf of America.

He is offering two million Federal employees a buyout to resign to resign, he has frozen all federal aid, and you think all this does is eliminate DEI funding?

That's like throwing a hand grenade into the kitchen because there's a fly.

I know, I know, he's the reality TV president, this doesn't matter as long as it is just good TV, I hope you guys are enjoying it...it's Ok if he destroys the country as long as you are entertained, right?

What's the point of having power over discretionary spending if you are not allowed to say no?

I mean, I get why Congress is unable to stop spending, but why should the president be as retardedly incompetent?

It's like buying a phone for your kid but being unable to take it away when they use it to surf porn....

it's Ok if he destroys the country as long as you are entertained, right?
Country survived long ago without all that corrupt spending, it will be fine again.

Dude like 20% of the people I work with are useless. You know the number has to be 80% in government. We should only pay money for productive work.

I've been in companies that downsize with buyouts, they don't cut the fat, they cut the meat, it's the ones doing the work that take the package because they know they can get another job, it's the useless ones that stick around.  The best workers know they are carrying the useless ones, so they take the buyout and go get another job that pays more.  The percentage of useless goes up and the company's problems just get worse.

Let this be just the latest example of how we've been saying you cannot use Trump's first term to determine what his second will look like. He knows this time around that all he had to do was get rid of the guard rails and make loyalty to himself, not the constitution, the number one qualifier. They said we had Trump derangement syndrome. No, they're just morons.

Trump added 8 trillion to the deficit in his first term.
In the recent GOP primary presidential debate, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley claimed that President Trump added $8 trillion to the national debt while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that President Trump added $7.8 trillion to the debt. These statements are true, depending on how you measure additions to the debt. We estimate the ten-year cost of the legislation and executive actions President Trump signed into law was about $8.4 trillion, with interest.

Trump told them, "Don't believe what you see and hear, believe what I tell you", and they did.

He told them "Putin is your friend, and Americans are your enemy", and they believed him.

The word moron is an incredible understatement.

The internet radicalized terrorists, it also radicalized morons, this is a whole new level of stupid.

Over the course of five decades, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault, tax evasion, money laundering, non-payment of employees, and the defrauding of tenants, customers, contractors, investors, bankers, and charities. Also filed 6 bankruptcies. Trump paid 88.5 million to E.Jean Carroll for raping and defaming her. Trump was charged with paying hush money to porn stat Stormy Daniels to keep secret their sexual encounter while Melania was pregnant with Barron. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years .

By who?

Rednecks, ghetto people, and immigrants. Fuck em. They can maybe get their shit together now. Maybe cut back on putting Pepsi in bottles and breast feed. Maybe cut back on the expensive fast-food and cook at home
 
Let's be real though and anyone who has studied Austrian economics knows this.  The state interventionism if removed would result in economic prosperity that really makes poverty optional.

Besides that, I get comments deriding Trump supporters as being trailer trash pieces of shits. Are they all of a sudden human to you now or is it still okay to cull poor people and their offspring with abortions and "MAID"

That's why I called out Wylted, you know all of this and still vote for Trump, then you lose the right to be outraged by statutory rape without being a hypocrite.

Trump pardoned 1,500 violent insurrectionists, he pardoned Ross Ulbricht who created and operated a marketplace for drug dealers, pedophiles, money laundering, identity theft, and murderers, Trump bragged that he could murder someone in broad daylight and he wouldn't lose a single supporter. 

MAGA is a lawless group with no moral compass, they don't get to pretend to give a shit about morals or the law, Wylted has no right to be outraged by this teacher, MAGA are all self-righteous hypocrites, every last one of them.

Oh no, you feel derided upon, well boo fucking hoo snowflake.

Sucker...you are never going to get your double-wide, Trump is laughing at you, all the way to the bank.  

Trump called soldiers who died for their country "suckers and losers", he is disgusted by his white trash MAGA army, he is laughing at you stupid pieces of shit.

We'd all be laughing at you except it isn't funny, it's just sad.

When talking about discretionary spending, I am gonna take a wild guess and say we spend many more billions on DEI programs in blue states than red states.

Destruction of the country is a small price to pay to battle the evil that is DEI, would rather burn it down than have diversity prevail, fuck freedom, we want everyone to be like us and it isn't up to them, what others do is up to us. 

The Aryan race will rise up from the trailer parks and rule for a thousand years.

Hallelujah!

What exactly is it you hate about DEI, which is the most offensive, Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion, and why?

I'm serious, I don't understand how your handlers got you guys frothing at the mouth about it, please explain. What about diversity training terrifies you?  Is it just hatred of the people they are talking about, or there more to it than that.
