Is that legal? Trump’s $8B energy cuts in the crosshairs. Trump plans to ax nearly $8 billion in “Green New Scam funding” in blue states as retribution for not voting for him in 2024. Critics say the move doesn’t pass legal muster. “This is unlawful.”

1. The supreme court ruled there is no more illegal for trump.

2. No it is not Legal, However Republican are not going to hold him responsible.

3. If it’s unlawful, he must be removed from office.

4. Congress appropriates funds.
   Anything that trump is doing in this regard is certainly illegal, but the Supreme Court isn’t willing to stop him. We will have to give the dementia time. Far more powerful than any Supreme Court.

5. does it fucking matter anymore. honestly

6. Hes a wrecking ball. I dont like trump one bit.

7. Legal or not doesn’t matter.  The current Supreme Court is of the opinion that it is an unconstitutional intrusion on the article II branch to tell it not to do something.

   There will be no enforcement of the law when it comes to this administration. 

8. Blue states need to stop sending money to the federal government

9. I think he’ll get away with it. Recent court rulings have hinted that they’re not willing to stop him on issues concerning funding/ executive powers

10. Why do all these post start with is this legal or this is illegal? Pretty sure Trump can do what ever the fuck he feels like. Laws have nothing to do with anything anymore for him.

11. Guarantee you SCOTUS lets the cuts stand in a 1 paragraph shadow docket ruling and punts the actual hearing to 2036.

12. little trumpy has replaced DEI with HRB: Hate, Revenge , and Bigotry.

13. It’s insane to me that we now have to fight a legal battle with every illegal decision this president makes. He operates without regard for the law. I doubt whether he’s even aware of the law. He just does what he wants and then figures the lawyers will sort it out later.

    This is what happens when you elect a businessman instead of a statesman.

14. Fucking Hell, such a hateful person filled with spite. I’m atheist and for me that whole clan feels like those radical muslims keeping that finger high to the sky while doing harm to so many people. These just wear tuxedos as a uniform

15. Of course it’s legal, under facist rule, the leaders wishes becomes the law.

16. Hell no

17. Laws mean nothing in a dictatorship. The Republicans are bent on enforcing every one of Trump’s whims for their benefit.

18. I’d love to see the democrats use 2 stack of cards when they are elected. One stack for every law broken and we need to close the loop holes and keep the people accountable. And the second is a mulligan for their version of the same thing. If dems want to undermine Texas by cutting all taxes until they fix their lack of access to women health care the get the same number of days or dollars until they need to fix it. Just pull their shit back on them.

19. His MAGA base loves this. Trump is a performer at heart, and has never given a damn for working within the law. But, voters knew what they were getting.

20. We should pump in the polluted air from coal energy emissions into the White House and see how the Trump sycophants like breathing in it. We will see if they think climate control, pollution and carbon monoxide emissions are a green scam/hoax at that point. Maybe that will shut them up.

21. Where are now all those saying that “Christopher Wright Is ThE BeSt SeCrEtArY Of EnErGy “??

22. When has the law mattered to him? Do it then fight it with appeals hoping right wing SCOTUS sees it his way

23. Him doing unlawful things? Surely not….

    /s

24. Doesn’t matter in a fascist oligarch theocracy- potus does whatever the hell he wants and no one stops him! Don’t matter anyway- we are past the tipping point on climate!! Enjoy the methane from the tundra!!

25. Does Argentina need money?
