Trump *is* cancer.

Don't shit where you eat.

sarahseaforth.bsky.social•42 days ago

Or have progress on any other disease. Maybe he got wind of the fact that someone discovered a cure for narcissism and lack of empathy and he got mad. /sarcasm, there's no cure for those.

katbuns.bsky.social•42 days ago

Also, as an old man, Trump should welcome quicker research into cancer…

katbuns.bsky.social•42 days ago

He’s creating something worse and bigger than the Covid shutdown. Total destruction.

He’ll use our collective need to turn the spigots back on as a bargaining chip, and then claim he’s benevolent. It’s was rumored he did this to Don Jr when he tried to get away…

archangel2pwrsun.bsky.social•42 days ago

No. Look under his more than 100K people died from COVID-19. It all about convicted felon Donald Trump just being greedy and cult- ness

storygrrl.bsky.social•42 days ago

or any other illness

jer1190.bsky.social•42 days ago

He wants us all dead. Easier to take over that way.

cnroberts.bsky.social•42 days ago

That's not his decision.

zachauthor.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump announces he doesn't want anyone to cure cancer.

ecoprairiepainter.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump no longer wants the US to be first or pioneering in today’s medical cures. Good to know.

boomer-michael.bsky.social•41 days ago

Reaction from #RFK? #Earworm?

boomer-michael.bsky.social•41 days ago

The #doge dodge: cut programs that benefit 99% to pay for tax cuts for the 1%. This #CancerSurvivor hates him more (didn’t think that’d be possible).

DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS.

rowlandville.bsky.social•42 days ago

Biden wants cancer cured. Therefore, Donnie does not.

fakelawn.bsky.social•42 days ago

Why would he want to cure cancer? Trump IS cancer.

lattosimbaste.bsky.social•42 days ago

He wants to claim he has.

naughtfollowers.bsky.social•42 days ago

This good enough…?

phantomframe.bsky.social•42 days ago

Welp, I hope he and his administration all get it then.

lynndew.bsky.social•41 days ago

He also doesn’t want anyone to know what’s going on with the H1N1 virus.

rthonpm.bsky.social•41 days ago

Considering he's cancer in human form, it makes sense.

stability6313.bsky.social•42 days ago

Donald Trump halts cancer and Alzheimer’s research while egg prices climb 37%!

jamieinireland.bsky.social•42 days ago

Or: Tr@mp crushes competition for his Big Pharma cronies.

speechlessrage.bsky.social•42 days ago

We went from President Biden’s cancer moonshot to shuttering the NIH.

cricket22.bsky.social•41 days ago

Not just cancer, but stop all medical research. Viruses alone can wipe us out, especially with RFK being against any vaccines on top of it.GOP is the party of Death. They aren’t immune either.

joanne47.bsky.social•41 days ago

So let me get this straight: so far he hates women, LGBTQ, Muslims, Palestinians, Nato, WHO, seniors, children, college students, poc, Asians, Latinos, and people with cancer

booond.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump to America, "I give up, cancer wins."

lisdoon.bsky.social•41 days ago

and he doesn't - no more need for votes so why spend money

ljamesnc.bsky.social•42 days ago

He IS the cancer

brucermcf.bsky.social•42 days ago

As the first Republican to run on increasing middle class taxes in quite a long time ... I wonder why they were so quiet on the "don't want to cure cancer" plank of the policy platform before the election.

nordicson59n.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump,” science-shmiemce”. “Fuckit”

drjuliaa.bsky.social•41 days ago

What about dementia? He's on that trajectory.

skepticalscot.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ironic if he succumbs to some ailment a researcher was on the brink of curing … but lost funding to continue the research

purplefunk21.bsky.social•41 days ago

All of these things that we can't believe he's doing - cutting off cancer research funding for one - these things are going to be dangled in front of us later when he gets to the crazy shit that he really wants. If we want all these things back during his term, we're going to pay a price...

damianow.bsky.social•42 days ago

Until he contracts it. Then he'll drink bleach and be ok.

alfisto66.bsky.social•42 days ago

Or any other disease

drichards915.bsky.social•42 days ago

or anything else, really

bluememe.bsky.social•42 days ago

Cancer has the chance to do the funniest thing.

dan-occ-light.bsky.social•42 days ago

This is actually not a bad idea. His psyche is disordered. He feeds upon adulation for being the “best,” and particularly, better than his predecessors. Encourage him to become obsessed with being “better” at curing cancer and devote bigly spending to research.

petcharles.bsky.social•42 days ago

Good suggestions here @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @latimes.com

You can do it, guys.

dmansini.bsky.social•42 days ago

JFC when will they learn- thanks Empty.

d0better.bsky.social•41 days ago

That is likely true. Biden wanted to defeat cancer. Thus, Trump the Destroyer will champion cancer.

blueeyedgrass.bsky.social•42 days ago

Science mag is too staid for that, but they should have added "study sections" to the title. This piece was making the rounds in biosci faculty emails today. Word is out that study sections are cancelled and that is a key thing saying the situation looks bad.

danylwms.bsky.social•42 days ago

Curing cancer would save too much money.
The big insurance, big pharma and big hospitals need cancer.

Sounds disgusting I know, but it’s true.

slindquist.bsky.social•42 days ago

Thanks! I just did!

judyhasthoughts.bsky.social•42 days ago

or how about: republicans are on the side of your cancer

bigalincal.bsky.social•42 days ago

Biden recently pushed a "moon program" to cure cancer. Trump will kill it for spite. A truly malignant human being.

katlu92.bsky.social•42 days ago

The milk of human kindness passed him by.

khalisakc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Well, Biden said that he wanted to cure cancer, so of course the devil has to oppose it.

patsfanlisa.bsky.social•42 days ago

Better yet: trump announces more people should die. It's their own responsibility to survive.

souleater1212.bsky.social•41 days ago

icare62687319.bsky.social•41 days ago

He didn't kill enough people with covid so let's kill them with cancer. So a big f*ck you while I await the results of my CT scan.

demonicevol.bsky.social•42 days ago

I would say I have never wished cancer on someone but I have wished way worse on this man for years. For this, I hope he develops the world's largest ever tumor of the most devastatingly painful type.

rthonpm.bsky.social•41 days ago

Bone cancer spreading to the pancreas.

samota.bsky.social•42 days ago

Because Joe Biden did. The most venal and petty fuck you reasons explain every cruelty Trump employs

permanentoptimist.bsky.social•42 days ago

The moment one believes the right wing evangelicals that their goal is the “second coming” ie Armagedon, everything starts to be logical. Why cure diseases, take care of ecology, etc if you hope you are the last generation that will ever exist?

mamerica.bsky.social•41 days ago

Because it was Biden's pet project assigned to him by Obama and carried through his term as president. It's all about retribution.

datagoodies.bsky.social•42 days ago

Any type of expertise based on science must be discouraged.
Authoritarianism books no competition.

adiosx.bsky.social•41 days ago

That is exactly right. Actually cure anything. Just as important, NIH is the source worldwide for doctors to view or contribute the latest medical research or clinical trials. This is beyond insanity.

debpolston.bsky.social•41 days ago

Got a text from one of my besties along with this article earlier today. Said husband’s research meetings were all stopped today-in the middle of meetings. And his grant was frozen and it would have hired 3 more people.

sailorjourno.bsky.social•42 days ago

Entire agenda: Kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time as possible

embeessem.bsky.social•41 days ago

And every Democrat representative and Senator should be screaming about this

shellnoel34.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yes they should be!!

twiceirish.bsky.social•41 days ago

The damage they’ve wrought in only a couple of days is catastrophic & mind-boggling.

Going further than imagined.

twiceirish.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is a bloodbath.

mybeachchair.bsky.social•41 days ago

He thinks AI is going to. 🙄

bbmjcandy.bsky.social•42 days ago

Both Trump and his “attorneys” are both totally ignorant of any history and incapable of learning it!

Just in time. 🧐 🐓 🦠 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 https://investigatemidwest.org/2025/01/22/second-trump-administration-must-take-bird-flu-seriously/

seasofsalish.bsky.social•42 days ago

Again I can’t help but think this is retribution for Biden’s Moonshot initiative. It was intended to increase cancer funding. Biden’s son, as we know had cancer.

Biden visited the Fred Hutch. Lots of good press.Trump will do anything to anyone to exact revenge.

Even on cancer patients.

edbott.com•42 days ago

He loves cancer, apparently, especially when it afflicts the poors.

They might as well roll tanks down neighborhoods. I had a friend from Uzbekistan that said life was normal until then. Fled with nothing.
