Why does Jonathan Turley argue that President Trump has the right to examine government expenditures?
Jonathan Turley argues that Trump, elected by a majority of voters on a platform to reduce government size and eliminate waste, has both the mandate and responsibility to scrutinize government spending. Turley emphasizes the importance of examining financial records, stating 'You've got to look at the books... look at the receipts' to properly identify where government money is being allocated. Turley characterizes opposition to this scrutiny as 'a level of denial that borders on delusion,' highlighting the disconnect between Trump's clear electoral mandate and resistance to financial transparency in government operations. He supports the need for designated people to investigate government expenditures as part of fulfilling campaign promises to voters.
