  1. I woould bet that he has never watched an educational program on PNS, nor listened to the news on NPR. He gets his education from those he likes telling him things. This is sad as these two entities do a marvelous job in education and news.

  2. Trump would not know an educational program if it sat right in front of him. He is so afraid of any news organization which is not under his thumb and if he could we would only be allowed to watch Fox News which is no longer “Fair and Balanced” and has not been for quite awhile.

    1. You are correct sir no legacy media has been fair and balanced for a decade! By their own surveys these organizations are made up of 90-95 percent democrat employees! So where’s the DEI? Things haven’t been the same since Obama changes the Smith-Mundt Modernization act!

    1. A civics base course: the Executive branch cannot legally suspend Congressionally-appropriated funds. The Pres is free to advocate for different priorities in the FY 2026 budget, which begins Oct. 1. The current budget, he can’t cut. He’ll try, and he’ll fail.

    1. Absolutely agree! God forbid there should be an informed citizenry that could see through his small minded BS….I can’t believe the abdication of the responsibility of Congress and the Supreme Court to reign him in. The U.S. was founded to be a representative democracy – NOT an autocracy.

  3. This would be easy to accomplish legally. All he has to do in convince Congress that they were wrong to legally require him to fund these programs.

    My representation in Congress has rolled over and is playing dead while a King makes illegal decrees.

    When somebody other than billionaires gets tax cuts, this might be worth cheering for, but until then this is just another way to screw over the little guy while “Winning” points with right wing media.
