President Donald Trump told NewsNation on Wednesday that historically Black colleges and universities should not be concerned about federal funding cuts to their budgets.
In 2019, during his first term in office, President Trump signed a bipartisan bill that permanently provides more than $250 million a year to the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities.
“I took care of the Black colleges and HBCUs,” Trump said. “You know that better than anybody.”
Last week, Trump signed an order establishing a White House Initiative on HBCUs to enhance capacity and “deliver high-quality education to a growing number of students,” according to the White House.
“I got them more money than they ever dreamt possible and they’re in great shape now,” Tump said. “They have long term financing. Nobody did that but Donald Trump.”
And the taxpayers.
Slippery slope.
...regardless of the constitutionality of the federal spending or grants.
Emotion and politics over constitutionally-limited gov't and freedom.
When will it end...?

Leftists spent 60 years turning blacks into a dependent political group that can be bought - so Trump is buying them.
Discriminatory treatment. All colleges should be treated the same. No Federal government funding. No Federal government control.
What a clown show.
Baiting Democrats to oppose.
Appeasement does not work.
why?
Not the taxpayers, the voters.
Yep. President Trump may be able to keep the demo-commies on the wrong side of a myriad of 80/20 issues from now until the mid-terms, without letup. They’re being trolled and outmaneuvered weekly or even daily to the point their bearing are overheating from the spin velocity.
The anti-American leftists who want to cause division between white Americans and black Americans are so intellectually deficient that they think threads like this will accomplish their goal.
Why would Democrats want to oppose?
Instead, they'll see Trump and raise him another $250 million.
Democrats will always outbid Republicans.
Democrats will outbid Trump.
Trump will fail to "outmaneuver" the Democrats on this.
Democrats can and will outbid Trump.
On this, Trump is acting like an old school Republican by rewarding his opponents.
Because it’s impossible to pick every fight and defend every hill. You want Trump to end up with an approval rating like Biden, just let FReepers call the shots.
THEY WILL NOT BE APPRECIATIVE.
HBCUs have no waste, corruption or abuse of Fed. Dollars?
Yep. A poison pill.
