This is why Donald Trump is unique among the bad presidents. Most of the bad presidents were bad because they mismanaged or exacerbated crises they inherited. Trump does terrible things completely unprompted and in response to nothing.

Trump also benefits from a dynamic whereby the far left Pro Palestine movement doesn’t place any blame or mention of Trump in their rhetoric or statements. Despite Trump overseeing a worse humanitarian situation now in Gaza and changing the policy on aid entering Gaza.
The human cost of these budget cuts is staggering It’s like dropping a nuclear bomb on a medium sized city every year
whats bad about this? We paid for this program for over 20 years. Sounds like we did the lord's work and it's time for Africans to step up and fight their AIDS crisis themselves
Where is China? I was told that we were losing our soft power. Why isn't China providing free PrEP to the entire globe?
America has saved millions of lives this century and is by far the greatest country in the history of this planet. But we are $36 trillion in debt and our younger generations can’t afford to buy homes. Time for other people to step up and throw on a condom.
The prompt frequently seems to be "Oh, there is bipartisan agreement that [x] is a good thing? Well, I'll do the opposite, because it's fun to do bad things" President Lamilton-ass governance philosophy
And some of them get criticism, whereas with Trump, you will have the press, and dead end leftists/Republican enablers like Stoller, Ken K, the Greyzone crew, Dore, etc. gushing at length about how brave and bold this is.
I love how it’s a “crime” to stop subsidizing treatment for the most easily preventable disease in the world after 20 years
The GOP is trying to destroy the US because they can’t win fairly. They hate democracy because they’re not popular so they have to undermine it, gerrymander it, have insurrections, turn to fascism, etc. They’re trying to scuttle the ship.
Someone needs to explain to me how I, as an American taxpayer, benefit from sub-saharan African population growth.
Read a little about this program and where the money actually went. Then consider whether there are known ways to prevent the spread of AIDS...
Why can’t the UN, WHO or absolutely any other country or organization step up and take over? We have been paying for this since the 80’s and we cannot afford it another minute
Bush killed over a million people with a plan PNAC put forward years before 9/11 that specifically said they would have to have a Pearl Harbor-style event to mobilize public support for it. Obama took the first two wars to the planned 7.
No, we had our turn. Let the rest of the world have a turn at it. Or maybe they can just stop spreading aids amongst themselves and problem solved. Or don't and the problem is still solved.
Trump just likes to feel the power of creating chaos and pretending he’s the Calvary coming in to save everyone. Then of course announce what a great job he did ‘trying’ to clean up his own huge lies. Trump is on a lopsided power trip that’s rolling downhill.

There is no cure for AIDS. The program here was encouraging people with AIDS to have casual sex. We should be discouraging people with HIV and AIDS from having sex with people that don’t have HIV or aids.
The African continent has grown exponentially due to food and medical aid. The people still do not know how to provide for themselves so our aid has to grow exponentially as well. At what point do we say that we cannot take care of them anymore.
The admin froze $9.4B in global health funds on Day One—including PEPFAR’s lifesaving HIV meds. Now Trump wants to rebrand it as a disease-detection marketplace for U.S. pharma. Prioritizing profits over 4.2 million preventable deaths isn’t governance—it’s mass manslaughter.
The whole Trump phenomenon is all about empowering everyone to be the worst versions of themselves they can be. Bush Jr and Reagan did plenty worth criticizing but still tried to call on conservatives to heed the better angels of their nature in their own ways.
Proponents of the West solving all of Africa's problems have a terrible baked in racism: By assuming Africans cannot solve their own problems they make sure they never even try.
Instead of talking about this garbage about a "treatment" why don't you talk about the Patent for the cure for AIDS/HIV and ask why that isn't being used?
Yeah, Joe Biden just "mismanaged or exacerbated" his way into a genocide. W Bush just "mismanaged or exacerbated" his way into intentionally and fraudulently invading several countries. Let's not pretend these assholes don't LOOK FOR crises to respond to in profoundly evil ways
If you are upset donate to a charity that does that. Our taxes should not be spent on charity work globally. If men with weapons are taking a portion of my check it should go to my own country.
