Trump Releases New Budget Proposal

President Trump is looking to make more budget cuts.

The 2019 budget proposal was released Monday and had a large boost of funding towards mental health resources.

However, the budget slashes spending for substance abuse and the National Institute of Mental Health.

This measure all but eliminates legislation signed into law by President Obama in 2010 following the massacre of Sandy Hook.

After the events of Wednesday, President Trump says he plans to discuss mental health problems within the oncoming weeks.
