Voice of America (VoA), the US-taxpayer funded news service for overseas listeners, could be back on the air as soon as next week, after a federal appeals court granted a temporary stay on an executive order dismantling the broadcaster.

"After nearly every affected network sued, US district judge Royce Lamberth, a Ronald Reagan appointee, granted a preliminary injunction in late April, ruling that the executive order was arbitrary and likely exceeded the president's authority.
The Department of Justice appealed. On Thursday, a Washington DC federal appeals court, which included two Trump appointees, partly upheld the lower court ruling that will enable VoA to resume broadcasting while the appeal plays out.
The USAGA had, until now, enjoyed bipartisan support, due to the vital role VoA and the other foreign-news broadcasters play in advancing democracy and US interests by reaching about 360 million people in countries that have little to no independent press."

Almost all of his EOs are, "arbitrary and likely exceeded the president's authority".
Of course though, he is a Legend in his Cult's Collective Mind.

Yup.
That is why Pres trump has run into so much trouble getting the Judicial branch to OK his EO's.
And likely the latter is the reason behind his diatribes against the Judicial branch.

Millions of dollars for about 10 listeners globally - who do they think they are, CNN?

The reason I ask is that Voice of America is one of the United States' soft power expenditures. Much like USAID that Pres Trump has terminated.
Of course, that leads to the question, why do Pres Trump (and his cult followers) seem to be so focused upon spreading American Excellence around the world with these soft powers?
So, got a link to substantiate your current alias' assertion that VoA has only about 10 listeners globally?

It is no longer 1980 broadcasting RADIO over communist borders. We live in a world of streaming audio now dipshit.
