Trump:
There are some shocking examples of government spending that have been brought to light recently. These include $22 billion being allocated by the Department of Health and Human Services to provide housing and cars for illegal immigrants, $45 million for scholarships promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in Burma, and $40 million for the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, a term that many find unclear. Additionally, $8 million is designated for LGBTQ+ promotion in Lesotho, a country not well-known to many, and a whopping $60 million for initiatives supporting indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. Plus, $8 million is allocated for a project on making mice transgender, which incited some laughter.
This is real.

Well, it didn’t take long for CNN to get their knickers in a twist and try to trip up the president, but they failed badly:
Initially, CNN correspondent Deidre McPhillips attempted to challenge these claims by stating that only around $500,000 had been earmarked for similar research involving monkeys. However, after the White House provided evidence refuting CNN’s fact check, McPhillips was compelled to issue a correction.
