To pay for an increase in defense spending, a down payment on the border wall and school voucher programs, among other things, funding was cut from the discretionary budgets of other executive departments and agencies.

Chemical Safety Board
Corporation for National and Community Service
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Delta Regional Authority
Denali Commission
Institute of Museum and Library Services
Inter-American Foundation

I don't really disagree with much of this other than the fact most of the cuts are being re-directed into an already exorbitantly-funded DOD and, eventually, tax cuts for rich people. Keeping in mind that most of these cuts and increases will be, what, halved by the time it works its way through congress, at some point the deficit needs to be addressed and spending needs to be cut.Trump's preliminary budget:

So were Trump's statements slanderous (legally speaking)? I'd say yes.
I thought slander was spoken (but it could be libel)
Ahh right you are sir.
Either way it was a pretty serious allegation that he made. Are there no ramifications?
Pretty sure that Trump Tower will be microwave free from this day forward.
I am not sure it works that way, but @elocomotive did tell me he has 9 "objections in the bank" with a particularly judge.In all seriousness, maybe Obama just keeps this under wraps for now. A lawsuit in the bank if you will.

I gotta purchase a firearm for the impending civil war. Any suggestions?
