You may not believe this but those families come from every corner of American society.



"Brain tumors are the leading cause of pediatric cancer-related death. In August, the Trump administration announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these deadly cancers. Misha Mehta, president of the Neev Kolte & Brave Ronil Foundation, and Dr. Paul Graham Fisher join Ali Rogin to discuss the implications of the loss of funding."

There goes the war on cancer.

Here's another humanitarian "TACO prize:"

After cuts to food stamps, Trump administration ends government’s annual report on hunger in America​
​
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is ending the federal government’s annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become “overly politicized” and “rife with inaccuracies.”​
​
The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing food aid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.​
​
“This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports that would otherwise show less-than-perfect news.”​

He has no brain, so he has no concerns about it.
 
We spend too much. We have a 37 trillion dollar debt. Do you not think we need to make cuts in spending? If not tell me how you plan on paying for all the wasteful spending, which we have a lot of. If you agree we need to cut, tell me what you think we can safely cut to get our spending, budget and taxation in line with each other.
 
Or......and I am kinda spit ball'n here; we could forgo the planned ballroom in the White House and use that projected $200 million on working towards a cure for brain cancer?
Or dozens of other waste projects?
 
Hearing things like this makes it hard to understand why anyone supports such a mean spirited person in leadership. It seems like an intent to destroy the USA one piece at a time. Anything to hurt people. Phenomenal.

It's like he sits up there in power wringing his hands together, cackling, and wondering just what cruelty he can dish up next.

How can anyone with a heart think this is making America great?

And it's saving us no money. All of the cuts are going to tax breaks for billionaires. The debt still soars. Amazing.
 

I put medical treatment and food for those in need before that debt. Why dont you?

Was it just easier to accept another TACO lie?

Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the debt, budget office says

The law will also "increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance" over the coming decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated.

And the military parade that did nothing but embarrass our fine military.

Are you counting on an invitation to the new $200 million ballroom at the WH, on top of all the other gaudy, tasteless crap he's used our $$ for at the WH? I'm not. @Integrityrespec are you?

C'mon Bum! Tearing up the White House and it's grounds is much more important!

You think that was embarrassing? Just wait until the week/weekend of July 4th. Remember he wants to hold a UFC fight at the White House.

You know, we could probably save more money by putting a miniature putt putt course in the Lincoln bedroom instead of flying him back and forth to Mar A Lago...

He's already ripped up the Rose Garden to be like Mar A Lago. And the ballroom is another extension of that. So a mini-golf course is certainly quite possibly on his "To Do" list for the WH grounds.

You know why MAGAs don't comment much in threads like this? It's because they know it affects them personally.
