What does President Trump do NOW?

[Pack Rat]

Quoting Gabbard (she admires Putin, as much as Trump does) is stacking the bull shit into a monumental tower.

All this double and triple posting of copy/paste by the Queen of bull shit is just a distraction of the damage Trump is doing to our safety net for the poor Americans. Stealing food and destroying the much needed health-care that barely keeps Americans heads above water.

[Pack Rat]

Cooperate with releasing the Epstein Files. Trump is innocent of the accusations of pedophilia, right?

Washington — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday declassified additional materials on the intelligence community's assessment of Russia's actions in the 2016 election, claiming in a social media post and at a White House press briefing that they showed Obama administration officials "manufactured" information in order to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump.

Her statement on X said the documents show Obama officials "manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election."

How low will the Dems stoop to try to retain power? VERY LOW. NO suprise there, and that is at the level where rats scurry about.

I doubt that PBS will go "off the air." Most stations do not DEPEND on that Federal $$.

BUT some smaller, rural areas, such in WVA and Alaska, with fewer folks to support their radio stations, depend on the Federal dollars up to about 50% of their budget. THEY will be hurt by these budget cuts. I think Trump (and DOGE) went after them since
1) they have long been a conservative target, and
2) NPR/PBS tends to lean liberal/Left and thus generally do NOT support Trump and Republicans and Conservatives.

Evidence: (AI Overview)

Although NPR itself only directly receives a small portion of its funding (around 1%) from federal sources like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and other agencies, its member stations historically relied more heavily on that funding.

However, this is changing
Recent actions in Congress, which culminated in a signed bill by President Trump, have eliminated all federal funding for the CPB for the upcoming two years. The CPB, which served as the conduit for federal funds to public media, has announced it is winding down operations by September 30, 2025.
Impact on local stations

This cut will have a significant impact on local NPR member stations, particularly those in rural or economically struggling communities.

Historically: These local stations, which are separately licensed and operated, received on average between 8% to 10% of their funding through the CPB.

Potential Impact: Some stations, especially those serving rural or tribal audiences, may be forced to scale back operations, or even cease broadcasting altogether, leading to news deserts in some areas.

Ripple Effect: The reduction in funding for local stations could also affect the national NPR network, as member station fees make up a significant portion of NPR's revenue (around 30%).
In short, while federal funding directly to NPR has been relatively small, the elimination of federal funding to the CPB will have a substantial impact on the financial health and services offered by local NPR stations, especially those most dependent on that funding for their operations.

----------- DONALD J. TRUMP, out of his own pocket

Completely implausible.

Trump doesn't do anything with his own money. Everything he builds is with money scammed from other investors.

You wait and see... it will be another Trump scam. People will be invited to "invest", and once their money is in the pool, he will skim his 20% off the top and walk away. The project may or may not go forward at that point, but even if it doesn't collapse like most of his projects, all the money that builds it will be other peoples'.

That is the Trump way.

Every bank that testified in NY said they would do business with him again.

ConfedSS: You are confusing TWO DIFFERENT entities: cpb and PBS.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the conduit for federal funds to NPR and PBS, announced on Friday that it is beginning to wind down its operations given President Trump has signed a law clawing back $1.1 billion in funding for public broadcasting through fiscal year 2027.

AI Overview
While the CPB's shutdown won't lead to the immediate closure of all PBS stations, it will significantly impact public media, potentially leading to some stations facing closure. CPB's closure, due to federal funding cuts, means the loss of a major funding source for PBS and NPR, as well as local stations. Although PBS and NPR receive only a portion of their funding from CPB, with the majority coming from member stations and other sources, the loss of CPB funding could still be devastating for some stations, particularly smaller, rural ones.

and, same source, AI Overview

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
CPB's Role:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) was the primary conduit for federal funding to public broadcasting stations, including PBS and NPR.

Impact on Funding:
CPB's closure means the loss of a significant funding stream for many stations, especially those in smaller communities.

Potential for Station Closures:
While PBS and NPR may be able to weather the storm, smaller stations, especially those in rural areas, may struggle to survive without CPB funding.

"Ripple Effects":
The closure of CPB will have "ripple effects" across the public media landscape, impacting programming, journalism, and the overall sustainability of the system.

Alternative Funding:
PBS and NPR are actively working to adapt and find alternative funding sources, including increased support from viewers and donors, as well as exploring new revenue streams.

"Defining Moment":
Public media organizations are facing a "defining moment" as they grapple with the loss of CPB funding.

Impact on Programming:
While PBS and NPR are unlikely to disappear entirely, the loss of CPB funding could lead to changes in programming, reduced local journalism efforts, and potentially fewer resources for educational and cultural content, according to NPR.
