That’s how far we’ve fallen. Bush was a god awful president responsible for the financial crash and countless deaths in the Middle East.
But he at least had some redeeming qualities. His PEPFAR program (canceled by Trump) has also saved tens of millions of lives from HIV/AIDS in Africa. He also established the worlds largest marine protected area, the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.
Trump has no real redeeming qualities.
Hey now. Under Trump, we saw the end of penny minting. And also under Trump, might see the death of daylight saving!
That's TWO things!
Well, not quite... See they're trying to keep daylight savings time permanently instead of staying with normal time permanently
This has been attempted before, and it didn't last through the winter. It's apparently pretty brutal on people when the sun doesn't rise until 9 or 10, and experts say it's possibly the worst option for public health
he was also scared into making a pandemic team, i believe.
That was Obama actually. With swine flu in 2009.
There wasn’t any protocol to deal with pandemics when swine flu rolled around. The Obama admin was caught completely off guard and recognized that the office wasn’t equipped to handle something like that. Luckily swine flu ended up being extremely minor, but they took it to heart and put together a team and playbook for dealing with a pandemic.
Trump trashed that as soon as he entered office.
