I think everyone knew exactly what point Trump was making dropping shit on Americans.
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?
MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?"
There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

Generational public health sabotage
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

New tariff executive order just released, and the official start date for tariffs was pushed to next week from instead of tomorrow, but we're raising tariffs for roughly 68 countries plus the EU, with some tariffs now as high as 41%. Literally Liberation Day 2 Electric Boogaloo.
