I wonder how much of this is just someone telling him Biden did this and he just goes with it?

He keeps treating it like these grants are gifts to the school. They aren't. They are generally to support research the government wants done but industry won't do on its own and the government doesn't want to do directly.
Trump is being unsafe with the economy and budget and is spending us into oblivion while scamming that he is cutting. He might not have the capacity to understand, Im not sure.
Noem is being unsafe with guns. That. I am sure of.

I agree with your first sentence. In fact, whole-heartedly.
But I disagree it is a capacity issue. Unfortunately like most politicians, he likes to spend because spend is power. He proved that in 2017 when he agreed with Schumer on the budget deal that exploded spending.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Unlike other politicians, he is showing signs of potential cognitive issues. I am NOT giving a diagnosis. First of all, I’m not the type of doc to diagnose such things formally and I have never examined him. But, his worsening loss of social filter concerns me. His confabulations concern me. Hey, might just be Trump. But, he is worse than he was on Howard Stern decades ago talking about people. And, he may be being externally filtered like Biden was.
I don’t know how you can be certain there is no capacity issue. I don’t know but see it as possible.

President Donald Trump pardons former Virginia sheriff Scott Jenkins convicted of fraud and bribery
The US president says Scott Jenkins is a "victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice".

*it pays to be a tRump supporter...hmmmmm, maybe it´s time to order a MAGA hat...just in case*
US President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to a former Virginia sheriff who was convicted on fraud and bribery charges.
A jury found former Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins guilty of accepting more than $75,000 (£55,000) in bribes last December, in exchange for making several businessmen into law enforcement officers without them being trained.
Jenkins, a long-time supporter of Trump, was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison. He was set to report to jail on Tuesday, but due to Trump's pardon, he will not spend a single day behind bars.
"Sheriff Scott Jenkins, his wife Patricia, and their family have been dragged through HELL," Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social network.
Trump said Jenkins was the "victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice". The judge who presided over Jenkins's case, Robert Ballou, was appointed by former President Joe Biden, but it was a jury trial.
...
The former policeman is the latest in a long line of Trump supporters to receive a pardon.
In January, the president issued almost 1,600 pardons or commutations to people charged over the 2021 US Capitol riots.
The US Constitution says that a president has the "power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment".
A pardon represents legal forgiveness, ends any further punishment and restores rights such as being able to vote or run for public office.

Will be interesting to see if the wiretap was actually used or not. Not sure who to believe on it yet.

SCOOP: Less than 3 weeks before Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, his mother, Elizabeth Fago, attended a $1M/person "candlelight dinner" fundraiser with Trump at Mar-a-Lago for the MAGA Inc PAC.
Walczak's pardon application emphasized Fago's financial support for Trump, & her connection to a plot to publicize Ashley Biden's diary that drew law enforcement scrutiny.
