FACT SHEET: President Trump Steals from Law Enforcement, Proposes Cutting Funds for Police in 2026 May 13, 2025 Press Release
WASHINGTON — While President Trump and Republicans in Congress claim they support law enforcement, the Trump Administration’s actions tell a very different story. Instead of investing in law enforcement and our police officers, President Trump’s budget defunds public safety to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
A new fact sheet from House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) shows how President Trump’s budget proposal would reduce law enforcement funding by billions of dollars, pulling officers off the streets of the communities they keep safe. The fact sheet details how:
* President Trump’s 2026 budget would have a devastating impact on public safety. * President Trump’s illegal withholding of funds shortchanges law enforcement. * President Trump and House Republicans do not respect law enforcement.
“It is impossible to reconcile President Trump’s claimed support for law enforcement with his budget proposal and with the actions his administration has already taken to suffocate vital public safety programs.
The stupid libs used that phrase where they really meant more reorganization and reallocation of police funds, but we owned the stupid libs by convincing enough voters they were actually defunding police.
They weren't, but we are. If that's not owning them what is.
At least they "owned the libs". That's most important 🤪🥴🤕
