Trump budget to slash Pell Grant funding for university students

The fact that he had the Trump university lawsuit and is now pulling a reverse Bernie

I barely even consider this guy as your president. I just think of him as some idiot they put in charge until they get someone at least mildly competent in

If Trump wants to make America great, he should invest in schools, science research, and public health care to improve their economy. Generating a wall and more tanks in the military is not the key to being a strong country. Powerful, maybe. But not strong.

Well, there goes my college the rest of my college education and even more debt

Well, the only optimism I have is that this is just his 'proposed' budget and those NEVER get passed how they are. For his especially, it's going to have some MAJOR re-tooling, especially since many programs in Trumps budget that he wants to axe have bipartisan support.

 

Unfortunately, I don't think Pell Grant/subsidy funding is something that many republicans support. It's ridiculous (correct me if i'm wrong tho)

Screw lower income college kids! Spend the money on golfing and skiing for the Drumfs! 

All the Trump kids are skiing in Aspen this weekend. Guess how many Secret Service agents are with them? One hundred! That's right, our tax dollars are going to billionaires living in Penthouse apartments in NYC and vacationing in Aspen and Mar-A-Lago.

I have friends who fully depend on this. **** Trump. **** Republicans. **** you for supporting him. 

But just think we'll be safe from the bad hombres with a huge wall, so that's worth killing the dreams of thousands of students who depend on this grant.
