The funding figures Trump complained about for the Kennedy Center, National Gallery and Smithsonian are actually lower than what he requested in his budget in February pic.twitter.com/54r3uMZxSF

Someone has just made a great point to me: much of the foreign spending the president is complaining about was in his budget request to congress.

What are the chances that after four years as President, Trump understands that the budget — which included the foreign spending he cited — and the covid relief bill are two separate pieces of legislation?

Pres. Trump can pardon my cynicism (pun intended), but he’s been proposing budgets and signing bills for four years with provisions identical or nearly identical to the ones he’s complaining about. The entire legislative process needs to be overhauled to restore accountability. https://t.co/alZycxpLvK

Not only is the $40m the president singled out for the Kennedy Center NOT in the Covid relief bill, it's EXACTLY the amount he asked Congress to appropriate in his 2021 Budget request.

The Trump Administration has requested $1.3 billion in aid for Egypt in each of its past 3 years’ proposed budgets. https://t.co/SdggSUPFEM
