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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
“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!”
