These are the subsidies to the woke apparatus that Donald Trump will suspend

Donald Trump, President of the United States, has ordered the suspension of almost all federal grants that, according to his administration, support the "woke" apparatus. This measure comes just a week after taking office, as part of his approach to change the course of policies implemented during Joe Biden's administration.

The memorandum, signed by Vaeth, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), states that federal agencies must cease any disbursement of funds that is not strictly necessary.

Additionally, the programs must be ideologically reviewed to ensure they align with the new president's executive orders.

The goal of this action is to dismantle proposals focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Trump and his team label these policies as "Marxist waste" and seek to reverse the progress made during the Biden administration.

The Republican president has focused his agenda on what he calls the "woke capture of American institutions".

This includes the elimination of educational, scientific, and technological programs that, in his opinion, have been infiltrated by progressive ideologies.

Among those affected are initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), grants for green technologies, and aid to small businesses.

The Opposing Response

The reaction of the Democratic Party to this measure hasn't been long in coming. Senator Chuck Schumer called the decision "illegal" and accused the Trump Administration of "hijacking essential resources" to promote its ideological agenda.

Schumer emphasized that the funds in question are not a prerogative of the president but a law passed by Congress.

Schumer added that playing with these resources puts the lives and economic well-being of millions of Americans at risk. According to him, the programs funded by these grants are essential to ensure social and economic justice in the country.

In addition to political rejection, some experts warn about the dangers of this measure. G. William Hoagland, vice president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, considered that this action represents an attempt to centralize power in the White House.

"It's a dangerous step toward a centralized government that overrides laws passed by the Legislature," expressed Hoagland.

According to the memorandum, each federal agency must present a detailed analysis of its programs and assign a political official designated by the Trump Administration to oversee spending.

This measure reinforces the president's control over the use of public funds, which has raised concerns about the management of federal resources.

Trump continues to defend his actions as part of his mission to reverse the policies implemented by his predecessor and restore the country's essential values.

He has repeatedly spoken about a "new golden era," based on a free-market economy, less government intervention, and a nationalist focus.

The confrontation between the White House and the Democratic Party promises to be intense in the coming months, presenting conflicting arguments about the use and distribution of federal funds.

While Trump advances his agenda, the Democrats continue to seek ways to protect the diversity and social justice policies they consider essential for the country's future.

The future of the programs affected by Trump's measure remains uncertain. The next political battle around this initiative could significantly influence the relationship between the Executive and the Legislative.
