President Trump railed against the federal spending in the sweeping coronavirus relief package, arguing Congress was prioritizing foreign aid and funds for other programs over sending more generous direct payments to struggling Americans. But the list Trump rattled off during a surprise video announcement Tuesday night conflated the coronavirus stimulus measure with the year-end federal government omnibus spending bill passed in tandem by the Senate. Moreover, much of the spending allocations Trump criticized were the exact amounts he requested for those programs in his fiscal 2021 budget: • $1.3 billion for Egypt and the Egyptian military? Trump’s budget asked for $1.3 billion. • $134 million for Myanmar? Trump’s budget had sought $131,450,000. • $40 million for the Kennedy Center? Trump’s budget asked for $40,400,000. Trump’s gripes focused largely on foreign aid, arts and humanities, and fish. This was also in Trump's budget request: “$7 million for reef fish management, $25 million to combat Asian carp, $2.5 million to count the number of amberjack fish in the Gulf of Mexico. A provision to promote the breeding of fish in federal hatcheries,” but he also listed this among programs he didn’t think should be funded. [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] |

Had had everything to do with these. See above. These were all part of HIS budget request to Congress. So go ahead and make some excuses now about Trump's 5D chess and now funding gender studies in Pakistan will make America great again. |

Confusingly, most of the spending measures Mr Trump singled out as his complaint with the COVID relief bill were nearly identical to ones he himself requested in his own budget proposal for FY2021 earlier this year. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78770954 To run through a few examples, Mr Trump’s proposal asked for: $82.5 million in aid for Cambodia; $131.4 million for Burma; $1.3 billion for Egypt and it’s military; $25 million for democracy and gender programs in Pakistan; $520 million for Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama; $1.1 billion for the Smithsonian; $40.4 million for the Kennedy Centre; $162 million for the National Gallery. [link to www.news.com.au (secure)] Now we are looking at no COVID relief and a government shutdown as well. While Trump is trying to twist the truth and blame it on Congress when it was he who requested all this pork in his his budget in the first place. Why can't he be honest with us and get this fixed? Or is all this just a tactic to get the COVID relief bill to fail altogether? Trump writes the bills now? Hmm wasn't aware of that new rule. He wrote the bill and then doesn't pass it right away? LMAO nice conspiracy theory buddy. 3.50 |

The question is: why? More importantly: why is Trump using his own budget request to torpedo the COVID relief bill? |
