This is a perfect example of the Trumpsters defending his policies no matter what he says or does.

I am honest enough to admit you have a point there Paul. Are you willing to admit the snowflakes are against his policies no matter what he says or does? This is a shining example that he can’t do the right thing in their eyes regardless of whether they agree or not. As far as Devos is concerned,you even admitted the cuts are hard and were hard pressed to come up with an alternative to slash budget. Truth is that the special olympics are well funded and would continue to flourish without public aid but the visuals were certainly bad. Again,Trump did the right thing.He appeased his base as well as the snowflakes but still gets criticized.

He did the politically correct thing, doesn't make it the right one.
If the truth is that the Special Olympics is actually well funded and doesn't need the help to survive, for what reason other than political expediency does he choose to fund it.
If you feel that the federal government's role is this type of funding, it's likely that there are many other fledgling organizations with noble purpose that could be helped to grow with the application of federal aid, and attain critical mass and also become self funding.
Or do we just give federal funding to everything that sounds like a good idea forever?

All good points PeteF., that is why you are open to criticism no matter which way you turn in situations like these. Stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
