The Trump administration complied last week with a judge who ordered the unfreezing the project’s federal funding. And on Monday, Trump carved out an offramp for himself to still maintain some control on the project.

“Please let this statement represent the fact that, under no circumstances, will the Federal Government be responsible for ANY COST OVERRUNS – NOT ONE DOLLAR!” Trump wrote, in a confusing message that suggested measures would be put in place to stop that happening.

president Donald Trump took to social media Monday to denounce the project as a “disaster,”

Is that's why it had to be named after him ??

Where is that oversight money coming from? Is that going to be from the project? Are they just going to balloon the oversight budget and fuck the project that way?

Unrelated, but what are the federal contracting officers and project managers doing right now? The current administration has completely side stepped them for the procurement processes doing everything under a different emergency process. They never got fired en masse as far as I can tell.
