Whoever promosed the idea of defunding should've been fired immediately. I hope they were. Sounds like another setup from within his administration to stop him looking like/being the great presisdent he was.
special olympics does not want you Trump i will never forgot you Trump for this you do not care about special olympics why does he care in 2019 he did not care in the past why in 2019 do not forget he make fun special needs reporter
Lol!! Again, he just heard about it! Liar! I'm sure he was the one who auggested the defunding!
He probably wants a gold medal for doing that!
Didnt hitler kill the special ones first? then didnt fred trump was detained in a kkk gathering which are pro nazi and loved germany
Yes. HIS administration wanted to eliminate the funding for Special Olympics. He doesn't get credit for reversing this. Also, DeVoss' budget makes steep cuts in other worthy programs for disabled people, public education & more while proposing a 15% pay RAISE for executives working in her department. How is this draining the swamp? Heads up: the cruelty continues as they use the courts to eliminate the Affordable Care Act. Tens of millions will lose their health care. Please contact your members of congress to make your voices heard.
Hey guys I’m a two time gold medalist winner in California and I appreciate the support from all of you guys I appreciate it
Trump hasn’t got a clue what is in “his” budget.
Special Olympics Cartman south Park 😂
Liberals will be anti special Olympics now that trump defended it in the budget lol
Trump flip flops
Betsy's Special Olympics defunding plan was certainly dumb enough to be her idea, but something that stupid would have had to be vetted by the White House. But the ever lying world record Presidential liar said he "just" found out about it (lie) and "he" over ruled his people and was funding it. (supreme ignorance). He funds nothing, Congress does.
every time trump opens his pie hole it's to grab attention. he's a big baby
We have kids starving, dirty water in Flint, MI, and kids with asthma in the Bronx, why are we wasting millions so that retards have a "global stage" to compete with other retards???
She has to go argue the budget her department puts forward it's her job , NBC knows this , more propaganda BS from MSM.
NBC Slightly Less Fake than CNN but still Fake News!!
ABC fake news they dont care that illegal Aliens kill our people
Trump is a puppy kicker and an a##hole. Why not cut it? Callous jerk.
They got caught trying to be shitty sneaky. BDevos probably wanted to shunt that money to her yacht club.
Typical spineless asshole. Asks for the cut then pretends he didn't after an outcry.
This story is retarded.
Another created crisis that Trump used for his own benefit. Heartless administration.
I only dislike, because MR. Trump Jack@$$ ?!
Trumpites will believe ANYTHING!
Seek our Trump does bow to pressure when he knows that he cannot win he's a freaking flake I just as simply a piece of s*** that nobody wants to touch believe me
At the end of the day Trump did the right thing 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
okay abc, let someone in his office changing funds and just blame it on just him. Out of the 40mil they already receive in donation, 17mil just barely scratches the surface. good job abc for finding something new to bitch about this time
0:27 yes Donald, yes you have
fools!!
LOL Trump wins again.
Now hang on there. Why are you criticizing conservatives for this? If we don't make disabled people suffer, who will the Christians feel superior to?
Pahhhhh!!!!!
I mean 🤐 sad sad day 😒
All Olympics should be privately sponsored and funded.
As well he should. How low can they go?
Why tf is the Cat in the Hat smiling?
Everyone thank our President for loving his country & making goodness & protection his priority. WWG1WGA
Go trump
And of course Trump says he knew nothing and Devoss now claims she fought for this program for years. They are doing everything to insure a democrat in the white house. Trump is also going after the ACA again. How stupid can you be!
Wait….it's Trump's budget.
How can he not take responsibility for it?
Does he take responsibility for anything?
It's my budget. I dont know what's in it. I hire the best people, like Devoss. I override them…..and we trust this admin to come up with a better healthcare plan!???? !!! I don't think so.
How stupid do you have to be to cut funding to something like that? You're literally asking for heat. You'd get better press kicking a puppy.
Trump finally did something right!
