"For the second year in a row, US President Donald Trump has proposed significant cuts to the budgets of major US science agencies…[The plan] includes a ban on using federal funds for subscriptions and publishing fees for some academic journals…Some of the steepest cuts would be made to the National Science Foundation (#NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA): the budgets of both would fall more than 50% in 2027 compared to their current levels…The budget for the US National Institutes of Health [#NIH] would drop 13%…The budget would increase funding for…the military, which would receive US $1.5 trillion, a 44% increase."

I usually emphasize that most recent assinine policies are result of the GOP, not just Trump. But this horrible Iranian war is the fault completely of Donald Trump, who voided a perfectly acceptable anti-nuclear weapon treaty with Iran in his first term for no good reason other than it was negotiated by a Democrat. Then he decide to, for no good reason, attack and now continue to rain destruction on the country. Donald Trump is the ideal example of international policy failure.
