One lawmaker called Trump’s intervention “an attempt to save face.”

“And by the way, can someone pull Betsy from under the bus?” That’s what Rep. Mark Pocan, a Wisconsin Democrat, said Thursday after President Donald Trump said he was overriding Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s proposal to cut nearly $18 million in funding for the Special Olympics.

That undercut DeVos, who had staunchly defended the widely condemned proposal, saying earlier this week that her department had to make “difficult decisions” with budget cuts, and suggested the Special Olympics be funded through private donations. The Special Olympics itself actually is privately funded; the federal funding was for educational programs that support students with disabilities and promote inclusion.

Trumps face is beyond saving

Ego's have no place in ☆RESPONSIBILITY & 0BLIGATION ☆If your agenda is in Everyone's Best Interest.
