They are trying to distract us while they take it anyway--or just do it a little later. Or find another scheme to make the heist legal. It's a matter of whether the person who has to sign over the money does it when Trump tells him to.

Only a court ruling, a new law from a bipartisan Congress, or both will stop it. Everyone doling out money for anything needs to understand that Trump is not the law. The law is the law. Trump may be immune but the guy writing the check isn't. This needs to be made public, in writing, and clear.
