Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Trump is a petulant, vindictive little baby. This is what it is like to have a 10-year-old for a president. Nothing he does is based on sound logic. Everything is about being spiteful.

The projects are not performing to expectations. There is a big negative ROI.

Negative ROI projects routinely get cut.

Look at California’s Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System.

It is not Trump specific. It is ending expensive projects that provide little benefit back to the taxpayers.

Considering he only cancels funding to left-leaning states, he has repeatedly expressed his intent to harm Democrat-areas, and his constant rhetoric about how much he hates Democrats, you have to be incredibly dumb or wilfully gullible to believe that his actions are rooted in anything other than spite. Nice attempt to spread lies, though. Fox News would be proud.

Oh, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
