Trump calls himself the unity POTUS..look at what he is doing to "unify" the country.

Under the Trump plan, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized.

The National Endowment for the Humanities will be cut entirely

Funding to the Departments of Commerce and Energy would be drastically reduced and many of the programs under their jurisdiction eliminated or moved to another agency

He will eliminate the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Violence Against Women Grants and the Legal Services Corporation at the Department of Justice

He is cutting funding for DOJ’s Civil Rights and Environment and Natural Resources divisions.

funding for nuclear physics and advanced scientific computing research would revert to 2008 levels.

He is also doing away with Office of Electricity and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, as well as scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions

Funding for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Paris Climate Change Agreement and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is also in jeopardy

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting in a statement said the plan to privatize would have a “devastating effect on its media service."

Other programs that are on the chopping block:

The Minority Business Development Agency
The Economic Development Administration:
The International Trade Administration
The Manufacturing Extension Partnership
The National Endowment for the Arts
The National Endowment for the Humanities:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (privatized)
Department of Justice programs and funding:

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services

Violence Against Women Grants

Legal Services Corporation

Reduced funding for Civil Rights, Environment, and Natural Resources divisions
