Former President Donald Trump has unveiled a plan to “cut waste, stop inflation, and crush the ’Deep State‘” of entrenched bureaucrats, his campaign said in a June 20 news release.
Trump said that, if elected to a second term in office, he would invoke his presidential power to delay or halt expenditures that he considers wasteful, despite congressional approvals.
“I will use the president’s long-recognized impoundment power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy for massive savings,“ Trump said in the release, which included a video message from the former president. ”This will be in the form of tax reductions for you. This will help quickly to stop inflation and slash the deficit.”
The latest announcement is part of the Trump campaign’s effort to keep advancing his policy positions even while the former president faces historic state and federal indictments over his alleged misuse of documents.
