And the LEFTISTS will be gnashing their teeth and making up ALL KINDS OF LIES about what this really does!!

THIS is how a REAL LEADER does things and ENDS THE WASTE AND CORRUPTION that the LEFT LOVES SO MUCH!!

President Trump has ordered the suspension of all federal grants, loans, and other financial programs pending a thorough agency review. The decision was announced in a two-page memo from the Office of Management and Budget titled "Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs." According to the memo, it affects at least $3 trillion in federal outlays.

 The freeze refers to several Trump executive orders as the authority -- Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20, 2025), Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid (Jan. 20, 2025), Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements (Jan. 20, 2025), Unleashing American Energy (Jan. 20, 2025), Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing (Jan. 20, 2025), Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Jan. 20, 2025), and Enforcing the Hyde Amendment (Jan. 24, 2025). It immediately ends funding for Green New Deal, NGO support, diversity, and foreign aid programs.

The memo does not affect Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, student loans and grants, or social safety net payments to individuals, though some leftist politicians will undoubtedly make that claim.
