Felon 47's death toll will be a worldwide tragedy far exceeding his COVID debacle. As he finds ways to stave and remove access to health care at home and abroad... And, no doubt, new means of evil will be added.
Think about it, Trump is cutting aid here and abroad, reversing environmental protections, stopping medical research, inciting domestic terrorists, and eliminating gun laws. He wants people to die. He is basically a serial killer. As are his sycophants.
Shame on the US for doing this. They're killing children! Shame on other countries for not stepping up to help. Shame on the govt of those countries for not helping. Mostly, shame to all the billionaires for not doing enough or doing anything at all.
Thought trump wanted to end unnecessary killing and suffering of innocent people.
Didn’t realise he meant he wanted to the FUNDING that was helping reduce the killing and suffering.
They call themselves christians, but they don't follow the teachings of Christ. They stopped doing that decades ago. They use the word, but they don't even know what it means.
If this doesn't wake you up, that Trump doesn't care, he is killing people just because he wants to destroy democracy.
If you can pretend he didn't have anything to do with it, you are in denial. #REMOVETRUMP
Keep track of all of the deaths world wide. These should all be placed squarely on trump & musk's heads. Which should then be removed after trials at The Hague. Or whatever they do with convicted mass murderers over there. Maybe force feed trump McD's for some liver Fois Gras for Hannibal.
This is heartbreaking. It should be confirmation that it’s not just the US’s responsibility though. It should be renamed WorldAID and be funded by every country that can afford it.
I don’t have numbers but other countries as well as NGOs do provide aid, although the US does provide more than most. However, I think the issue with this is simply cutting it without making sure it can be provided from elsewhere. It was irresponsible and cruel.
We live in the deep south. They're celebrating down here. They say he's finally draining the swamp. They're waiting for their checks. They don't believe he's going to cut Social Security and Medicare. They think everything is going to be just fine.
I wish I felt positive enough about things to think saying fuck them was going to achieve anything. I've never seen such a big bunch of goddamn fools in my life.
I need new curse words. I've used these all so often they're starting to lose their meaning. We can't have that happen.
We did great the first time! We HAVE to do even better this time! He is crazy and more and more people are going to get hurt! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends and family. Share and make everyone aware.
The worst cut of all, the innocent, poor and sick. America came to the aid of the world, and we cut it off. For this alone!!! Why doesn’t this piss off everyone?! They found 1 thing they didn’t like the money being spent on because it was DEI, and cut it ALL! Disgusting and inhumane! Not Christian!
Saying that money was going to the corrupt government is BS. They have ways of delivering aid through clinics where the government is not involved and cannot take funds. Yes, the government is corrupt but they didn't show where any of the aid was being affected.
This is a tragic story, borne from a situation that is fixable. Rather than becoming gabillionaires, those whose income reaches a certain point- that money should be required to be donated to a central world bank and funds spread for clean water, health care, food, and medicine. Share your wealth!!
I’m sure he doesn’t give two shits about the lives of people in Sudan, but I think that’s definitely going to be the strategy in the US. He and Musk and the rest of the tech bros have plenty of Nazi-esque big ideas about superior bloodlines (and what an absolute joke - just look at them).
Oh, they’ve made the cuts in the US to food aid too food banks all over the country you’re struggling they cut our EPA in FEMA now we’ve had disastrous storms since January and there is no help.
Im serious. It doesnt mean they walked with diarrhea. They could yes, walk and eventually discharge during the journey, or they were fleeing infected areas. After some medicine to stop the flow?
I trust the story, and I mean every calendar year, they'd have law of averages as far as fluorinated water and fluoride toothpaste that some feel we don't need, well they're wrong, if they got the disease they got it bad, major illness.
My read: they've been kicked out of a hospital town, or
Every person who voted for him has blood on their hands. Every person who chose to stay home not vote at all has that same blood on their hands. We could have worked with Harris regarding Gaza. I wouldn't be surprised if millions died because of this idiot's incompetence, greed, hate, & ignorance.
This vile Trump-Musk-Project2025 Christian Nationalist administration not only *doesn’t* care, it’s the intended, deliberate, desired outcome of its policies.
It takes a unique individual who indirectly caused the deaths of eight human beings to continue on with their lives as though nothing happened.
For that person EMPATHY would be their downfall.
He is no doubt unaware it even happened, no idea where South Sudan even is.
I already paid em, just would rather my money went to help people rather then to pay for the asset to golf while he lets 1/2 the national forests get cut down. [and every other shitty thing he does too].
Someone please show this to MAGAts, let them see what they voted for! Plz do! Slap it in their stupid cruel selfish ugly faces and not let them hide behind their ignorance.
Musk has made life hell for Americans who were trying to save people from starvation.
He is a stochastic terrorist.
He should be tried and imprisoned promptly.
Breaking news: MAGA DOESN’T CARE. They wouldn’t care if this was happening in the US, they certainly don’t care about children dying in another country.
I agree that maga doesn’t care about dying children, and won’t they be surprised when China steps into the void and all these countries side with China against us.
If they even find out. They’ll still be watching the network that is showing them a women’s pool tournament in which two trans women are playing for the championship.
If they find out, they still won’t care. They’ll start praising China.
China is already stepping in - they were right there after the earthquake in Myanmar, and other places as well. Unfortunately, they're also fighting for Russia in Ukraine
I cannot believe I continue to be surprised at such cruelty. So many years ago, I saw Dachau before cleaned into a tourist attraction. I felt evil left behind and do again.
Tally the victims. They are committing crimes against humanity in front of all of us. One day we will have to answer the question of in which side of history did you stand.
I used to take pride in the United States' commitment to global humanitarian efforts through USAID. However, learning that such vital programs are not longer available make me sick.
Fake?
Pick up a goddamned history book. Your mommy lied to you.
Christians have raped pillaged and murdered on every continent for 1500 years.
Just because you belong to a cult doesn’t mean the rest of us have to ignore what we see.
The hypocrisy is stunning. The entire Congressional GOP applauds the slash & burn to find “waste” & is silent when Trump plans a military parade to celebrate himself.

SOS should know that our soft power and influence through doing good is more important than weapons.
so sorry world
As in, ‘Have you trumped?’
Making America GREAT
No wonder I can't sleep, eh?

Your oppression is their profession.
And they don’t care.
The Regime is harming people at home and abroad, breaking laws, violating the constitution, and committing treason…
Someone hold this PoS accountable.
It's almost like he's weeding out the weakest.
ELON YOUR WRONG.
But to you: one can walk with diarrhea it may be messy, among other things, but it's not major disease. 😅

Guess his Rationalism quasi-religion says they aren’t important
existed.
RepubliKKKan elected officials are sub-human monsters dressed in suits.
For that person EMPATHY would be their downfall.
He is no doubt unaware it even happened, no idea where South Sudan even is.
And for what? Billionaire tax cuts, really?
Untold numbers will die horrible absurdly untimely deaths
There are no adequate words left anymore
DIDN’T THINK SO.
musk bankrolled him.
Everything is fine.😬
He is a stochastic terrorist.
He should be tried and imprisoned promptly.
If they find out, they still won’t care. They’ll start praising China.
'empathy impairments are considered a key aspect of autism-spectrum disorders'

Report on this please
Musk and Trump loathe empathy and humanitarian programs, sneering down their noses at it and babbling “weak, losers”.
Meanwhile our biggest ally is now El Salvador because they agreed to accept and imprison American citizens.

Shows what's important for him
Tears in my eyes all the time. I WORRY about all this. Fu_k is no longer the worst word, trumps name leads.
