Trump wants to cut $18B in social programs to pay for wall

[Morphine Prince 109,977]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House is calling for immediate budget cuts of $18 billion from programs like medical research, infrastructure and community development grants to help pay for the border wall that President Donald Trump repeatedly promised would be financed by Mexico.

The administration would eliminate $1.2 billion in National Institutes of Health research grants, a favorite of both parties. The community development block grant program, also popular, would be halved, amounting to a cut of $1.5 billion, and Trump would strip $500 million from a transportation project known as TIGER grants.

Like Trump's 2018 budget, which was panned by both Democrats and Republicans earlier this month, the proposals have little chance to be enacted.

What a trash bin.

Of course that's going to happen considering Mexico certainly isn't paying for the wall and he won't come out and ask his supporters for money to build it.... it's gotta come from somewhere, preferably from his and his cronies' pockets since they have so much money and all

All these details won't get approved by Congress (hopefully) and it will be another political failure for Trump.

American citizens shouldn't have to suffer for a wall that will barely stop any illegal immigration

Lil Trumpsters be like:

It's sad to see that taxpayers' money is being used to fund a pointless border wall that can't be completed even after his term ends.

Tbh if you replaced Donald with a wig, nothing will change (well, maybe it'll be better lol). Like all his actions aren't for the people.

[GloZell Green 11,723]

But Trump supporters said that Mexico would pay for the wall, no doubt! Looks like they were wrong. Now the country will have to suffer for this useless wall. Sad!

Why? If you really want them to go back to their land then you should tell all the Americans to give their land back to the Native Americans that got forced out.

Doing what? Building a useless wall? If he is dying to build something, he could push this money to infrastructure projects instead.

He could build a wall around the White House and just never come out. We don't need the building anymore, just make another one

I'm all for this! Take over a few parking garages/lots (they aren't hiring government employees, so they are empty anyhow) and build a golf course. Then he can stay there and play his little games for the next four years!
