“Trump has already suggested taking such a big step, saying last year that he would ‘use the president’s long-recognized impoundment power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy for massive savings.’”
EXCEPT the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 makes it illegal—the President can not ignore spending he doesn’t like. He is not a king. Worse, Trump is an idiot.
He doesn’t understand how things work.
And Trump doesn't care cuz Trump. And the GOP. And the Supreme Court.
Human-made rules do not apply to Herr Trumpkopf.
Or in theory they do, and are just not applied in practice.
As everything else the fool thinks that if claims enough of mandate and a win he'll be able to rage/whine his way into anything the fck he wants.
Can't wait to see him shut the fuck down legally on so much of his turgid shit and then basically rant and rave indignantly for every little loss not recognizing him as the King of the universe... So many stroke inducing and cardiac arrest feeding rage elements shortening his repellent life is good news, guess I'm a goddamn optimist.
@feloneouscat He's not worried about laws and rules. He'll bribe or threaten until he gets his way.
@feloneouscat except the courts get to say whether that act is constitutional. And it's hard to have much faith in the courts these days.
