What a loser. Can't figure out consequences of his actions. Seems like running government like a business is a bad idea.

Rescinds the EO to stop a court case. The freeze is still happening, just without making it super public.
https://thehill.com/homenews/5113527-omb-federal-funding-freeze-rescind/
A Trump administration official explained that Wednesday’s move was taken to end the confusion over Monday’s directive and end the federal injunction against it. The official said it would not halt the intended freezing of funding that conflicts with Trump’s executive orders.
And that's also only on domestic funding, foreign assistance is still frozen.
It's basically a "turn it off and see who screams the loudest" thing, innit?
It's the fact that Trump is a bully, but he caves at the slightest amount of pushback.
Maybe he should have talked to DOGE before doing this. /s He basically just wasted hundreds of thousands of man hours because of all the projects that had to be put on hold and people scrambling and trying to figure out WTF they were going to do.
Looks tired and WEAK. SAD!!!
