US science after a year of pedo 47

More than 7,800 research grants terminated or frozen. Some 25,000 scientists and personnel gone from agencies that oversee research. Proposed budget cuts of 35% " amounting to US$32 billion. These are just a few of the ways in which Donald Trump has downsized and disrupted US science since returning to the White House last January. As his administration seeks to reshape US research and development, it has substantially scaled back and restricted what science the country pursues and the workforce that runs the federal scientific enterprise. n an unprecedented move, officials began terminating already-funded grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in February, and later at the National Science Foundation (NSF), two of the largest public supporters of scientific research in the United States.

For Pres Trump, Science does not seem to matter.

All that seems to matter is what he dictates should matter.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue

[Pre-Chorus]
C'mon " abuse me more, I like it

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't think you like me
Well, I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell

[Chorus]
C'mon " abuse me more, I like it
C'mon " keep talking, 'cause it's true
C'mon " abuse me more, I like it
C'mon " keep talking, 'cause it's true
...



Wish I knew ...

Science does not seem to matter.

Trump, 79, Gets Confused Explaining Water to the Navy (October 2025)
www.yahoo.com

... Donald Trump went on a deranged rant about the power of water to destroy magnets during a rambling address to the U.S. Navy just off the coast of Japan.

Speaking aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier during his tour of East Asia, the president appeared to suggest -- in a largely incoherent speech -- that he is pushing for aircraft carriers to use "steam for the catapults" and hydraulics for elevators, while wrongly claiming that water can disable magnets. ...
