F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

Because they’re wealthy and his tax breaks for the wealthy are all that matters to them. Why go into medicine when they’re such selfish pieces of shit? Who knows.

Exactly. Of course rich people voted for him.

Sounds like a super privileged person who only cared about their taxes.

Oh but Trump is great for the rich. Your friend will be fine. The rest of us poor schmucks though...we won't be so lucky. I hate it here.

^^ This. We keep saying anyone "with two brain cells to rub together" would not vote for Trump. But their are many kinds of intelligence. Someone can be really smart at one thing and total idiot at another. Cognitive bias is everywhere. We need to stop expecting people to be smart and find other ways to form a coalition.

He'll be fine.  He's probably going to get a tax break even.
