So nice!!!

He lied when he said he had just hear about that .

Well, that is the second decent thing he’s done during his presidency. Congrats, Donald. You’re up to number two!!

You mean he threw her under the bus?How surprising.

Good you should not let her do this terrible idea 👍 1 point for Trump now 🤣

All this winning 🤣

Everyone is expendable Donald !

I absolutely refuse to feel sorry for madam secretary but this is what happens when you work for a creep

So. We are really bitching about THIS? You don't have to support him, but this is something good. Everyone was loud about it being cut, now ppl are pissy he decided not to?

🚎 OOPS, another cabinet member thrown under the bus ...

why he's the big man on campus.

realDonaldTrump surprised me with this move. The special olympics is a worthy cause, worth protecting & encouraging.

Too bad Obama gave away half a billion to Solyndra, a private company who went bankrupt after two years in business. A company Obama frequented when in California. Almost gave them another half billion, but they went belly up.

See - scream loud enough and your voices will be heard - Now -as to that Mueller Report being released in full to the public - heck just release it to Major newspapers of cities over 50,000 population - Otherwise, you'll never clear the stigma attached to Reps. over this.

A circus administration.

He just got caught

He creates a distraction, the MSM runs after the bouncing ball. Then he rides in and pretend he never heard about it and pulls it back. Then MSM breaks the news that he saved Special Olympics. And that's his big applause line at his rally starting any minute. Who's fooling Who?

She should know by now that he will throw anyone under the bus if his adoring public cries out loudly enough about it. We need Special Olympics.

So he threw her under the bus. Nice guy.

No Collusion, No collusion!

‘A major problem’: As Trump administration seeks cuts in Special Olympics funding, athletes and parents reactNonprofit’s $17.6 million federal appropriation is in budgetary crosshairs. “It’s the one place where our kids belong, no matter their disability,” says one parent. Twisted Christians are a major component of the Trump Administration. If its so important they can raise money through charity privately. FYI kids are still dying of cancer because theres no cure, work on that first. Good, it should be paid for by their states. Not the federal government.
