President Trump wants Congress to cut funding to state and local law enforcement that he calls âunauthorized and poorly targeted.â
Ask any pundit or centrist Democrat what hurt Democrats most in 2020 and theyâll tell you it was calls from far-left types to âdefund the police.â Nobody in Congress or on the Biden campaign echoed it, but somehow this drove voters in droves away from Democrats, according to the theory.
Those voters might want to retreat back to the Democrats now, because, a week before he leaves office, Donald Trump has submitted a formal request to Congress to defund the police.

How Congress Can Give Americans $2K Relief Checks and Cut Omnibus Pork to Pay for It
24 Dec 2020
President Donald Trump has urged Congress to increase the amount of the direct relief payments to Americans to $2,000 by cutting out the unrelated pork in the coronavirus rescue package and government spending bill. Breitbart News has calculated how much that increase would cost and what could be cut from the 5,593-page omnibus bill to offset it.
The House and Senate passed the combined $900 billion coronavirus relief package and $1.4 trillion government spending bill on Monday night, but the massive 5,593-page omnibus bill immediately drew criticism for sending billions of dollars of aid to foreign countries while only allotting $600 relief checks for Americans.
