This is from a moral liberal website, so of course everything it has to say is negative about Trump, but the facts are all correct. Trump has issued several mandates that are getting out of control. This article is about his mandate against grant or contract work in the EPA. It is unclear right now if this is all grants (Current and future) or just future grants. We are talking over $6.5 billion dollars. That's $6,500,000,000 worth of contracts and grants that are currently unclear. The Trump administration is so understaffed that all calls for clarification have gone unanswered. How about we get people into their positions before we start issuing mandates that so drastic? Trump is behaving very scarily.
