The Awkward Truth About Trump, Musk, and Kids With Cancer

Before honoring a 13-year-old survivor in his address to Congress, President Trump joined Elon Musk in cutting funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment.

“Democrats reminded us they are the party of insanity and hate—they could not even clap for a child,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X following the address.

Afterwards, Democrats reminded everybody who questioned the decision that this was a president who had been joined by Musk in cutting funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment. And the Democrats did not forget that Trump had pardoned those who injured 138 cops on Jan. 6 while assaulting the very building where Trump now honored this brave youngster in a cut-to-size police uniform.

“That said, if the president is going to help kids with cancer, granting DJ Daniel an honorary Secret Service agent position is not going to do it.”

She suggested Trump could start by releasing and fully restoring the NIH research grants he had frozen, without cutting the provisions for necessary administrative costs.

“And he could stop talking about Medicaid cuts,” she continued. “Half of all kids in the United States are on Medicaid. It’s going to really hurt seriously ill children if we cut Medicaid.”

  1. Just like moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem was evidence of his Jew hatred. No matter what Trump does, no matter how moving, and no matter how positive an impression it makes, you'll find a way to condemn it.

    2. I'm not going to search his archives but I do remember stories in the liberal Jewish papers where liberal Jewish leaders warned that moving the embassy would inflame "the Arab street" and cause a mortal blow to The Peace Process(tm) and The Two State Solution(tm) and since the liberal Jewish position is that Israel can only be safe and happy with those in place, then this was evidence of his animus towards Israel and Jews.
