CNN: “According to figures compiled by congressional Democrats, which have not been previously reported, the administration has so far withheld $425 billion that Congress had agreed to spend on programs like biomedical research, state and local crime fighting efforts and energy programs.”

“It’s a number that congressional Democrats are likely to point to as they push for guardrails in upcoming talks with GOP leaders, who also voted to approve that spending.”

1. All US spending will go to Trump's pocket and pet projects.

Congress and the judges will let him do it.
No problem.

Cowards everywhere.

2. Dems! DO NOT let him take ANYTHING from Congress!

Same directive goes to Republicans.
