This week, DOGE quietly killed millions in Labor Dept grants that do exactly that by getting more women into jobs like construction & manufacturing.

Trump is betting the American people hate illegal immigrants more than the hate a dictator taking over their country and shredding the Constitution. I think he has miscalculated. (I also realize he doesn’t really care what the American people think. Just making a point.)
