Trump 47

I am far from a Trump fan , but I am not going to go in hysterics with hypocritical faux outrage 13 days into a Presidency. As for DOGE, I want it to succeed. I don’t have blinders and realize we have A LOT of wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. I get national debt is a bigger issue for me than for you, but $36T is meaningful and burdens our future. Although I am extremely dubious that Trump will take debt reduction seriously (witness his apparent approval with additional spending)…we have to start somewhere. Investigating current spending and processes is the right place to start.

I will ask you one more time as you keep not answering. Do you want them to be required to follow Federal law?

That is what I have been complaining about, despite your complete mischaracterization as "faux outrage and hysterics."
 

U.S. tariffs on Mexico to be paused for a month, Trump says​

WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will pause new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday on social media.


Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect.


The two counties will use the month-long pause to engage in further negotiations, Trump said.

U.S. stocks and other global financial markets slumped on the looming tariffs, while world leaders responded to Trump's threats to expand tariffs to the European Union as well.

The benchmark S&P 500 fell 1.7% at the opening bell, on the heels of the year's biggest daily losses on a string of Asian and European bourses over fears of an economically damaging trade war.

Trump said on Monday he had spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and would do so again at 3 p.m. ET (2000 GMT). Both Canada and Mexico had announced retaliatory tariffs of their own. The tariffs on Canada and China remain poised to take effect on Tuesday.


Speaking in Washington on Sunday after returning from his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump indicated that the 27-nation European Union would be next in the firing line, but did not say when.

"They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products. They take almost nothing and we take everything from them," he told reporters.

Yes, laws should be followed. What federal law do you show as being broken?
 
US President Donald Trump has said he will cut all future funding to South Africa over allegations that it was confiscating land and "treating certain classes of people very badly".

if this wasn´t so sad, it would be comical...

I and others have mentioned multiple in the past few days in this very thread.

Honestly, it just seems you skip over the stuff written that doesn't fit with what you want to see and believe.

The executive branch does not have the authority to stop payments. A entity like DOGE isn't even a part of the government and does not have a right to view classified material. Regardless, this is considered impoundment. There are 3 reasons for this:

1) Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” President's do not create law, congress does. Withholding funding is considered "Impoundment" by

2) The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 which was upheld via judicial review by

3) The SCOTUS ruling in Train v. City of New York (1975).

There have been a couple of tests on this, all of which failed. The most recent one was in 1998 by Bill Clinton. So these actions would go against all 3. The Constitution has not been amended, the law has not been repealed and the supreme court has not seen a case to change that precedent, at least not yet.

Congress would need to create DOGE and Musk would have to pass confirmation to lead it, which would never happen. Looks like we are headed towards a constitutional crisis.
