This article is from 2024 and talks about Congress reducing budget by 2%.

I'm talking about 47% cut to NASA science program proposed by trump for 2027: https://www.space.com/astronomy/deja-vu-trump-proposes-cutting-nasa-science-funding-by-47-percent-again

Also the Congress actually decides the budget, president proposes what they want it to be.

Yep, like I said Biden signed off on an actual budget reduction to NASA

Also the Congress actually decides the budget,

The President can veto it if he doesn't like it. Constantly lowering our standards to give mediocrities like Biden a pass is what got us to this point, it's bad when Trump talks about wanting to cut spending but it is also bad when Biden actually cuts spending whether he said he wanted to or not.

You're purposefully misleading others.

This cut was imposed by Congress, because Republicans who controlled the House wanted to make cuts so it was a compromise, Biden proposal didn't cut NASA budget but increased it
Even with the cuts, this budget for NASA was still 9% bigger than NASA's budget at the end of 1st trump term, because Biden bumped it up earlier
The 47% cut to NASA science budget is proposed by trump, it haven't got through congress yet, which could potentially cut it further, it's also cut after cut to the budget in 2026
