The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Those that voted him back in will feel the disaster he will cause them..they are about to be gasping for their last breath! Too much, too little, too late! If a family member has cancer, if your elderly parents need prescriptions, even if you love eggs (sarcasm) you're about to perish.
Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Yes, yes, a lot of people will suffer, lose jobs, homes, and their community during this administration but you have to balance that out with the fact that a few billionaires are going to make many more billions. So it's a wash.
