You know what might have been a clue? The past!
- March 2017: Proposed $5.8 billion (18%) cut to NIH funding, targeting cancer research indirectly.
- February 2018: Proposed eliminating the John S. McCain Childhood Cancer Foundation.
- June 2019: Revoked the Clean Power Plan, weakening air pollution controls linked to lung cancer prevention.
- 2018: Delayed asbestos bans under the Toxic Substances Control Act, linked to cancer risks.
- 2017-2019: Repeated attempts to repeal the ACA, threatening free cancer screenings like mammograms.
- February 2020: Proposed $3 billion cut to NIH in the 2021 budget, while increasing defense spending.
- July 2019: Reversed proposed bans on flavored e-cigarettes, undermining tobacco-use prevention.
If people are surprised, it’s because they aren’t paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.
“We never expected that the guy who told us to fight Covid by eating horse paste and shoving UV lights up our butts wouldn’t know a damn thing about science.”
Give him some credit… he also suggested ingesting bleach. Technically it would have killed COVID and guaranteed the patient never got COVID or any other sickness ever again.
Just to clarify drinking bleach is probably less bad than what he actually suggested, which was injecting disinfectant.
Just to clarify, the Maga chuds dying from drinking bleach, od’ing on ivermectin and getting sunburns in their colon would have been a net gain for humanity. Which is why it’s taking all my restraint not to say anything about birdflu and raw milk.
He literally stole from a cancer charity, and this was well known long before the election.
Not just well known… He’s outright banned from ever having a controlling stake in a charity. Because his theft was so blatant and widespread that regulators decided he can’t be trusted with it again.
If he ever joins a charity as a director, the charity must have a majority of directors outside of his “inner circle”, must use external accounting firms, and must retain a law firm experienced in charity law. Basically, he can’t ever have a controlling stake in a charity.
BUT, he can have full control over the nuclear launch codes, and funnel taxpayer money straight into his hotel business. Great job American voters! Great fucking job.
I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.
… but I didn’t think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.
fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.
I didn’t mind the bigotry, racism and anti-democratic scheming but this is where i draw the line.
Yeah they draw the line right in front of them. And they only notice someone crossing it when it hits them in the face.
Their line is a circle around themselves.
Some of them include their children.
“But not Fred, he’s too woke. And Jenna is a lesbianist!”
"Oh, buddy…you think that’s bad, just wait till next year!
…I mean… If you’re still around then."
“I didnt know the guy that literally stole money from cancer kids via a fraudulent charity, an act so depraved he is no longer to run any sort of charity, would take money away from cancer kids. GOD DAMN LIBERALS!”
And God damn those woke cancer kids, America was stronger when we didn’t give out participation medicine to cancer kids at all. We just cured cancer with our bootstraps and our heavily leaded air.
Actually he isn’t allowed to run charities anymore because he ran a “Trump fund” for sick children, and… it all went to Trump so…
Yeah he is Anti-Curing Childhood Cancer
I’m going to vote for the guy who stole from a children’s cancer charity, because that’s just smart business.
–Every trump voter
And then for some reason think he’ll run the government like a business for their benefit instead of running it to the ground for his own benefit. After his first presidency was basically a scheme to funnel federal money into his hotels once he realized he could manufacture situations to force them to pay for rooms.
Who in the fuck even convinced these mouth breathers that a government should be run like a business in the first place? Jesus fucking Christ that’s the dumbest shit ever.
It’s something Romney came up with that… weirdly worked when Trump tried it even though it backfired heavily for Romney.
Hahahahaha you think Romney invented that. Did space flight and computers also get invented when you were in grade school? The steam engine?
Go back 100 years and you’re still too late.
He was supposed to divest interest in any business that would present even the appearance of a conflict of interest, as has been done for almost 250 years. Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to prevent any possible appearance of corruption. Trump on the other hand put his whole staff up in his hotel, charging the American taxpayers millions of dollars per day, and sold Goyo bean commercials directly from the oval office. In typical modern fashion, the judicial and legislative branches of the government shrugged their shoulders and said “I guess there’s nothing we can do”. People talk about the damage trump may cause during his second term. Like WTF? He already outright destroyed any government credibility during his first term, dismantled trust in the free press, killed a bunch of funding, made enemies of our allies, and allies of our enemies, and cut corporate taxes even further. He has already destroyed what America was in the minds of its citizens. What more can he do, except remove the veil, and any pretense that we’re a nation of the people, by the people, for the people? At least then there would be honesty, and perhaps the blind could see.
Normalcy Bias, no one did anything because “Everything’s fine folks, adults are still in charge, if we pretend this is normal that means it is!”
elon is the kind of dipshit who probably holds the belief that the commoners’ cancer can be compensated with a higher birth rate. People are just a resource to him.
Nauseating to see this tiny man claim to want to go to mars when he can’t even crawl out of his own ass.
He doesn’t think of those people at all.
Maybe I’m just OOTL but why bring up muskrat?
Cancer funding was on this bill he shut down: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/johnson-forward-stopgap-funding-bill-despite-elon-musk/story?id=116903027 I thought this was the whole point of mentioning cancer funding at this stage.
But ok, in the interest of transparency this looks like a balanced analysis https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/12/20/trump-elon-musk-childrens-cancer/ for ootl people
He is the new president of the USA. I’m only half joking.
Don’t be fooled. Most of the people who voted this way haven’t figured it out yet.
It’s true. It’s sad seeing how many people are still in the cult.
Some are just fucking stupid. They are so stupid they will accuse you of calling them that when being asked critical thinking questions when they bitch about brown-skinned immigrants “taking over.” I get tired of people saying they are going to “stay and fight” when they are too cowardly to call out close family members who do this.
If they didn’t figure it out the first time around they never will. Only true thing this guy has said is that he could literally shoot someone in the face in the middle of Times Square and he wouldn’t lose supporters.
I just wanted him to hurt everyone else but not me.
I know we’re all going to suffer, but Im particularly glad those who voted this way are slowly starting to realize how they or their love ones will.
Anxiety is the worst part about any major change
Why would you expect that he wouldn’t? He defrauded a KIDS cancer organization. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone that isn’t him
I didn’t expect…
Good news everyone!
I’ve developed a nearly foolproof method for preventing anyone else from sharing this fuckin sucker’s experience, and will share it here - free of charge - today only!
It’s simple. All you have to do is ask yourself a single question: Does X effect Trump’s Y?
Replace X with the issue or item you’re concerned with.
Then replace Y with one of the following: health | self-image | bank account | stock market
If your answer is ‘No,’ congratulations, you now know that Trump will indeed NOT give a single fuck about your problem. Also, it’s probably some sort of peasant issue anyway.
If your answer is ‘Yes,’ you’re likely still fucked somehow! 😁
Unfortunately we’re starting to see that Trump is being influenced by Musk. So you’ll also need to factor in whether a particular issue affects Musk’s bank account/pride
Bitter me and Trump: fuck this guy’s health
The bad shit hasn’t even started yet.
I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say “No, this is fucked. He needs to go.”
I heard that Vance is twice as bad.
Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.
He doesn’t need them. He’s already VP.
Yeah but in 4 years unless Trump tries to go full Putin thats going to matter.
At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.
Only because they believe they will be unaffected or benefit. If they are negatively impacted, they will flip so fast
Republican propaganda outlets will tell them that there is no problem and they’ll believe it. If not that, they’ll tell them the problem is a fault of the “others”, and they’ll get even more on board the maga hate train. They’re a lost cause.
30% of voters
Don’t forget there’s a whole separate worse category of people: those who refuse to vote or learn about “politics”
Nah, I can understand apathy way more than I can the racism and hatred of the fascist Republican voters.
