Trump to end spending on Biden-era digital equity law, calling it ‘racist and illegal’

[Swordsmyth]

President Trump said he is ending the Biden-era Digital Equity Act, intended to provide digital service to lower-income communities, to save the country billions of dollars.


Mr. Trump said in a social media post Thursday that he spoke with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and they agreed to end the act passed by Congress in 2021 and incorporated into the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed by President Biden.


It aims to ensure that everyone had access to skills that would help them benefit from the digital economy, and Mr. Trump slammed it as “unconstitutional.”


“No more work handouts based on race! The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway,” he wrote. “I am ending this IMMEDIATELY and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!”

I thought we already learned that he can't undo Congressional spending except, perhaps, by impoundment (which he has yet to put to the test).

Apparently some people don't learn as fast as others.

It’s just the other prong of Swordy’s 2 pronged attack on liberty.

1. Attempt to disparage and discredit as many prominent pro-liberty voices as you can.

2. Endlessly praise and propagandize the most anti-liberty, authoritarian president since, Lincoln.

And some people buy into it.

Until the grassroots wises up and realizes these social spaces are compromised by anonymous sock puppets nothing will change.

The full attack on this forum started in 2015. Anyone who joined during Trumps campaign is sus.

The only reason there's only a few active saboteurs, is because there's so few remaining active Ron Paul people (i.e. the attack was successful). If there was more activity, I'm sure we'd have more ZOG-bots.

A culture of fear and "privacy worship" works great for authoritarians. It makes it much easier to compromise you and also disappear you if no one knows who you actually are. So they want you to be anonymous and obsess about your privacy. Meanwhile they go about making the entire world transparent from their point of view (e.g. Palantir).

It's a two-way mirror. It needs to be broken.
