People don’t come here for politics (for the most part people don’t come here, period), but in observing our president’s actions I have moved from shock to revulsion. Not all USAID programs were worthwhile, but providing medicines in poorer countries is not only a humanitarian act, it’s one that builds good feeling for the United States around the world.
This week, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – a man with no scientific training, and some dangerously outlandish views – was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services. In a similar disregard for qualifications, Trump put himself in charge of the Kennedy Center. Then he spoke with Putin – a dictator and war criminal who is personally responsible for the deaths of thousands – about the war in Ukraine, suggesting in his comments that ‘there are good people on both sides.’
A nation’s health, its culture, the stability of the world are all at risk because of a man who is in way over his head.
