They really think, I mean, they're in key states, like there's a lot of them in Virginia, Maryland, et cetera. They make those states blue or purple at least. And they like the idea of spreading this largesse to their supporters. 90% of all the federal workers are left-wing, and some things like the media or legal professionals, they're all left-wing.

PBS, even Voice of America, all of that was left wing. And they don't want to lose that. So they're going to make up things as they go. They're going to say you can't impound approved dollars.

You can't cut anything. And if you can't cut anything, you have no control over the operation of the program. So, Mr. Trump, we're in a constitutional crisis.
