Trump Backs Legislation to Block Public Funds from Groups Linked to Unrest
U.S. President Donald Trump recently voiced strong support for legislation aimed at preventing taxpayer money from being directed toward organizations he considers “radicalized.” The bill, titled “NO TAX DOLLARS FOR RIOTS,” introduced by Representative Kevin Kiley, has received Trump’s endorsement for immediate enactment.
In a public statement, Trump affirmed that, if reelected, he would direct any administration under his leadership to cut financial ties with such groups—regardless of whether the bill is passed into law. He accused these organizations of fueling riots and public disorder, resulting in widespread damage to infrastructure and private property.
Trump further argued that it is unacceptable for groups allegedly involved in violent demonstrations to later receive federal funds intended for rebuilding. He views this as an irresponsible cycle where harmful actions are effectively subsidized, calling it a “reward for destruction.”
His remarks emphasize a broader policy principle: ensuring that federal funds are used responsibly and not allocated to those accused of undermining public order. The stance reflects a growing conservative push to tighten fiscal oversight, particularly in the aftermath of civil disturbances, and to hold accountable those perceived to be instigators of violence.
Trump’s message sends a clear signal—under his vision, any link between civil unrest and federal funding must be severed to protect public resources and uphold law and order.
