Last week,
President Trump released his first budget. They’re calling it a hard-power
budget because it features a $54 billion increase in military spending, and to
pay for the new spending, Trump is cutting everything else, like the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds PBS. Look, Trump’s a
real-estate developer. It was only a matter of time until he put up condos on
Sesame Street. –Stephen Colbert
Trump is also
eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for
the Humanities. I am not surprised, because he is jealous of anyone who is
well-endowed. –Stephen Colbert
Plus, Trump is
slashing the EPA’s budget by 31 percent, and the Great Lakes Restoration
Initiative, which fights invasive species like the sea lamprey, could see its
funding slashed by 97 percent. If you’re not familiar with the sea lamprey, you
might know it as the vicious, flesh-eating hell beast from your worst
nightmares. Or as Steve Bannon calls it, “my mentor.” –Stephen Colbert
