How Donald Trump and Project 2025 previewed the federal grant freeze
ATLANTA (AP) — A White House order to freeze federal grants reflects a theory of presidential power that Donald Trump clearly endorsed during his 2024 campaign. The approach was further outlined in the Project 2025 governing treatise that candidate Trump furiously denied was a blueprint for his second administration.
At face value, the Monday evening memo from Matthew Vaeth, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, is meant to bring federal spending in line with Trump’s executive actions, notably on LGBTQ+ issues, civil rights, energy and environmental policy.
Vaeth’s memo invoked nakedly ideological terms: “The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.”
The order, which was temporarily halted by a federal judge on Tuesday, could reach well beyond policy areas Vaeth singled out. And it is a potential preview of how Trump will attempt to wield executive power throughout his presidency.

How does Vaeth breath with his head stuck so far up his ass?
