It hits even closer to home for me.  
When Trump first proposed his bullshit budget, it significantly cut NIH research funding. The local paper did a story that mentioned how it was going to cut NIH funding of\* my wife’s \*research. We need to start a conversation about how Trump voters are going to have to pay reparations before getting amnesty.

How could this happen? Trump has me agreeing with [North Korea](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/06/07/north-korea-slams-trumps-decision-to-pull-out-of-paris-accord-as-the-height-of-egotism/?utm_term=.76df1a173f38).

“This is the height of egotism and moral vacuum seeking only their own well-being at the cost of the entire planet.”

The White House’s official response to Iranian terrorism was basically “you had it coming.” Fucker.

Again, to answer the title of the thread. Trump is still breathing.

Everything he is doing ticks me off.

This is just a minor little gripe that pales in comparison to the fuckupery that is going on in the WH, but I was thinking about this set of president-themed coins that I had when I was a kid. This was in the 1980s and I can’t remember which president it left off with at the time. It even had a little case with a slot to display each coin. Anyway, I was thinking about how if I had an updated version of that coin set now, it would have to include a coin with 45 on it. How nauseating. Where’s the barfing emoji?

Trump demanding loyalty from those who work with the president. Pretty much nails it today. Ya know fuck that oath to the constitution and bow down before me the king type of stuff he is now pulling, and I would say has always. This seems like something he has demanded from every appointment and that loyalty beyond their oath appears very much like high treason to me.

Guaranteed that would be the reaction if the lass were Muslim. Heck, that’s exactly the reaction from so many trumpers about the incident where two guys were murdered for defending two girls from an anti-Muslim moron recently.

What pisses me off, and exhausts me, is that he has mmade it so difficult to engage in reasonable discussion. Is he were impeached tomorrow, and removed from office, and drawn and quartered as a traitor, his dumb supporters would still be talking about his non existent successes and whiny snowflakes who just couldn’t handle his magnificence, or something.

He’s pissed me off today by failing to live tweet during Comey’s testimony. I was looking forward to the rope he was going to make for himself.

This. ^ I was looking forward to his deranged pronouncements. They must have him in a straightjacket somewhere.

The Paul Ryan excuse de jour is that Trump is too fucking stupid to understand how government works, so it’s all OK.

I may have embellished that a bit, but that’s the gist.

They have him distracted with a puppet show and a bowl of ice cream (TWO scoops!)

You think you have problems? I’m about the biggest Disney World fan around, and I was hit with a stab of nausea when I realized that they are working _right now_ to create an audio-animatronic figure of 45 for the Hall of Presidents in the Magic Kingdom, and it will never not be there, even after this nightmare has come to its inevitable conclusion. He will always be present in my favorite place on Earth. Always.

Bold added.

This is the understatement of the year. :dubious:

I was thinking straitjacket, too, but this is better. Also, his loyal staffers changed all the clocks and calendars in the White House, so Trump thinks it’s still yesterday.

It was real. None of those motherfuckers have any decency or self respect. If the His Orangeness took a shit on the desk they would have ate it.
