"Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned over the last 20 years it's that that's not going to win many people over.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

...Winston Churchill, the Queen, ....

More of Trump doing his thing:

At the National Institute for Health all purchasing has been frozen. All! No PPE, no liquid nitrogen, no mouse food. Long term studies that have running for years are a risk. Work on the possible Bird Flu crossover has stopped.

For the Trump crowd, dead magat grandbabies aren’t enough. Need to stop cancer research too.

To be fair, a number of conservative British leaders have been stuck-up twats.

All overseas aid, except direct food aid, has stopped. Disease prevention, water treatment, drug supply all stopped. The long negotiated Gaza ceasefire has got US aid workers in place, they can now do nothing. The US provides anti-retroviral drugs to 25 million HIV patients in Africa, including 500,000 children. All that is stopped, instantly.

Not sure why @Jolly and @Copper said this was "Good."

Many moons ago I did a bunch of work for NCI (National Cancer Institute) so I have limited experience inside the NIH world and saw the good it was doing.

[jon-nyc]

There’s only two ways to interpret that answer of ‘good’.

1. They’re both familiar with every animal study currently underway at NHS, including at NCI, and think that ending them early will improve human health

2. Bog standard magat nihilism.

[jon-nyc]

I suppose there’s always 3) Trolling.

[Copper]

Promises kept

Money saved

The tide will turn

Most of this activity will probably restart, the funding might be different

I thought the same thing. LOL

[jon-nyc]

I think my explanation holds. You just need to decide which is more probable.

They are both smart guys, so I will go with #1!!

[jon-nyc]

You’re good!

[jon-nyc]

True?

[Jolly]

I expect it's exaggerated.

[Copper]

Those ISIS militants will love Mr. Trump.

[Renauda]

@jon-nyc

True?

I suspect that report may not be in proper context and is therefore of dubious veracity.

Yes.

How so?
