Trump Halts Grants Like A Kid With Crayons Taken Away
In a stunning move that screams "I want control," the Trump administration has put all new funding on indefinite hold until it can 'cancel any previously funded grants.' Basically, theyâve hit pause like a toddler whoâs spotted broccoli, ensuring no new paperwork gets done while they clean houseâby deleting it. Itâs a classic move: "No new grants until we erase the old ones," which translates to freezing progress under the guise of fiscal responsibility. Because why fund innovation when you can fund repeal? Americaâs budget strategy, summed up in one sentence.

Putting new grants on hold just to cancel old ones sounds like a broke landlord evicting tenants for unpaid rent⌠from the 1920s. Inventive fiscal genius or just existential despair? You decide.
Sure, freeze all new grant money until every old grant is canceledâbecause slow-walking innovation is the real American dream.
This administration's idea of progress: Cancel all your previous gains so you can pretend to rebuild from scratch. Revolutionary logic!
