How Trump Killed Cancer Research

Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of "woke" studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research.

Chat, is cancer research woke? The Trump administration seems to think so, having erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research in a move that seems to be part of its anti-DEI, anti-trans, and anti-vaccine agendas.

... He paused NIH grant-making for more than two months, holding up an estimated $1.5 billion in funding. He effectively halted clinical trials of new drugs ...

Pres Trump knows only cruelty. He has not a clue what empathy is.

So long as he and other uber-wealthy get their tax relief, he seems not to care about the scorched earth he is leaving behind him.

Poetic justice would be cancer in the Trump family but I'm not hoping or praying for that to happen though I can only imagine how people who are dealing with that terrible disease in their families must feel about the cruel and unnecessary cuts this evil man is making. Is he announcing that he now supports cancer? Hard to even imagine such an evil creature being our President.

Agreed. I blame Trump for Trump's malignant behaviors, and I blame the people who voted for him for him being given the opportunity to inflict himself upon us. Sorry, rubes, no mulligans on this one.

Trump and his family get the absolute best of medical care, so why should he, and the other billionaires, pay taxes to give lifesaving care to the great majority of us out here in the sticks? He wanted to be praised for giving some help to GAZA, and I am sure he sees America as his, and it is his largess, not our right, that is to be responsible for Cancer care.

"Trump and his family get the absolute best of medical care, so why should he, and the other billionaires, pay taxes to give lifesaving care to the great majority of us out here in the sticks?"

There are cancers that no amount of money can buy a cure and some very rich people have died and will continue to die from them. It is poetic justice when a Trump supporting fat cat dies from cancer or loses someone he/she loves to cancer. I promise you I won't shed a single tear when any Trump supporter dies from cancer.

Danni, I want you to know that I'm wishing the other way, to cancel out the fat lady with the rapist son that she's still proud of.

Lowly, heartless scum such as yourself deserve to know what people honestly think of them.

Pray for yourself, bitch.

I rather enjoyed her classic Southern "I'll pray for you" condescension.

I'm not lying following her around with a camera would be some great cinema verite content of what's its like being a Trumper.
