White House orders pause on all federal grants and loans, impacting trillions of dollars in aid. Impact on Social Security and Medicare benefits excluded.
The thing is, you can maybe take it to court, but the suspension itself while a court examines it might be disruptive.
It looks like there are a number of federal loans preferentially extended to a number of groups (black-owned businesses, female-owned businesses, etc) by the Small Business Administration. If Trump intended to end minority-preferential lending, say, I could see that going over well with people who voted for him, but across-the-board temporary suspension while it’s evaluated seems to me like it’d make a lot of people out there who voted for him unhappy.
