Trump to end "woke handouts" that help disabled, vets, rural areas and others access digital
He posted today:
"I have spoken with my wonderful Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and we agree that the Biden/Harris so-called 'Digital Equity Act' is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL," Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. "No more woke handouts based on race!"
"The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway. I am ending this IMMEDIATELY, and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!" he added.
The act, signed into law by former President Joe Biden, targets seniors, incarcerated individuals, veterans, people with disabilities, those facing a language barrier, members of racial or ethnic minority groups, and people in rural areas.
