 Well you’re partially right, but since certain LLM appear to be able to replicate themselves (although not as yet peer reviewed) I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive just yet

				 White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion 
 
Trillions of dollars could be on hold, according to an Office of Management and Budget memo. 
 
The White House budget office is ordering a pause to all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government, according to an internal memo sent to agencies Monday, creating significant confusion across Washington. 
 
In a two-page document, Matthew J. Vaeth, the acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, instructs federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance.” The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, also calls for each agency to perform a “comprehensive analysis” to ensure its grant and loan programs are consistent with President Donald Trump’s executive orders, which aimed to ban federal diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and limit clean energy spending, among other measures. 
 
The memo, which goes into effect Tuesday, states its orders should not be “construed” to affect Social Security or Medicare recipients, and also says the federal financial assistance put on hold “does not include assistance provided directly to individuals.”

 Not quite true: I don't recall "I'm going to enrich the billionaires even more than before at the expense of the middle & workings classes" or "I'm going to trash the agriculture sector", guess I must have missed these policy announcements ...
