This is absolutely bonkers, halts 10% of the US GDP overnight and will spark civil unrest if it goes on too long.
Sadly, the civil unrest will be from Republicans who somehow blame everyone else for their dear leader taking a shit on the country, again.
Might actually break the spell. Granted, they’re morons, so it might not.
It won’t. These people are stupid enough to cheer him on after his first term in office ended with a fucking insurrection. They don’t give two shits about law or anyone else.
They do care about their own pocketbooks. Halting 10% of the economy is as bad or worse than Covid.
These morons were fine with covid except when it affected them personally, and even then they didn’t care enough to vote against the person who undermined the covid response. They never blamed the Republicans for shutting down the government multiple times for no reason other than to obstruct a Dem president.
They are too stupid to link this to their suffering. They will just blame Dems based on whatever the orange turd says.
Jesus… This will directly and unequivocally shrink the economy. That money? It’s paid to businesses for services. He just fucked our GDP.
And it’s going to disproportionately affect red states, because those are the states that receive the most federal grants.
They want to kill off the little fish that need that money. Also, this is a death nail for most nonprofits. Nonprofit, is a dirty word to oligarchs. Why do good things for no personal gain?! Watch for profit large corporations snap up assets and market shares of services previously provided by nonprofits and charities.
Everything he’s done so far, and most of what he will do, will be bad for our economy
Yeah, a lot of this is congressional mandated funding. You can’t just take that away with the swipe of a pen. If congressional doesn’t act, or many lawsuits don’t get filed to challenge this, we really are living in the beginnings of a fascist regime, and we are meekly accepting it.

Where the fuck is Congress?
He makes the ferengi look generous and benevolent.
Trump advisor: “Sir, the debt limit is looming! Soon we won’t be able to pay out money to anything!”
Trump:" Even if the congress approved it to be spent, we could just not spend it? Legally?"
Advisor:" Well, yes, that is what the debt limit does…"
Trump:" How about just stop spending on the stuff we don’t like? You just said we could do that, even if it was approved…"
