I thought Trump already reduced/eliminated funding for PP this term? Unless you mean on a state by state basis?

It's complicated. Trump definitely stopped funding for the branch of PP that does abortion, however I think PP still receives funding for different services.

PP offers STD screening (men and women), cervical cancer screening, womens health exams (abnormal bleeding, etc), and other non abortion services. It's cheaper to have them provide these services rather than poor people going to the emergency room for something like STD treatment.

Yes, but the concern is that they overcharge the government for these services and then use the money for abortion.

Or for their large donations to the Democrats.

An organization that donates to a political party should not receive any taxpayer money.

Most people don't understand if you subsidize you company that performs abortions that also performs other things, you are subsidizing abortion.

Anything Trump does is only temporary. Executive orders can be changed when the next POTUS comes in. To make them permanent, we have to go through Congress and SCOTUS.
