President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would hold discussions on which “Democrat Agencies” should be cut amid the ongoing government shutdown.
Trump said he will meet with Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, who oversees the allocation of federal funds. The shutdown started on Wednesday after the Senate failed to pass a temporary government funding bill backed by Republicans.
“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The meeting follows Trump’s call Wednesday night for Republicans to take advantage of the shutdown as an opportunity “to clear out dead wood, waste, and fraud. Billions of Dollars can be saved.”
Vought has already moved to suspend or cancel billions of dollars of federal funding following the shutdown. He announced Tuesday that nearly $8 billion in “Green New Scam” funding spent on “the Left’s climate agenda” was being cancelled.
The terminated projects were mainly in blue states like California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.
Following Vought’s announcement, the Department of Energy said that it had terminated 321 financial awards worth $7.65 billion supporting 223 projects. The department said the projects were not economically viable, did not advance the nation’s energy needs, and would not yield a positive return on taxpayer investment.
“On day one, the Energy Department began...

The Dems are counting on activist federal judges to delay this until they can get better terms. I don’t think it’s going to work.
Excellent! The more axed, the better!
DOGE was just the appetizer.
Time to get to the meat and potatoes.
“They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!””
Excellent trolling. LoL.
What was he going to axe them?
Start with eliminating unconstitutional bureaus.
(Aeeeeeeteeeeef, EPA excepting multi - state projects, education (a highly remunerative WPA for unemployed educraps), and several of the essentially redundant security whence like teeeessssaaa). Shutter the bureaus that are ridden by corruption (effffbeeeaye, etc).
Chop most legit bureaus by at least 20 percent (allowing for exceptions in a proven needs basis).
Money laundering operations hit hardest.
“Start with eliminating unconstitutional bureaus.”
We may not like them but they are not unconstitutional if Congress voted to approve them. Be careful what you wish for because if you are looking to axe anything not originally Constitutionally mentioned, then unless you are a hypocrite, you would have to get rid of things like the Border Patrol which is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution and did not even exist until 1924.
+1 from this Boomer.
