rump is removing operating money from the CDC in order to make them
play his tune. I've been watching for his play on OSHA. Both of
those agencies have the power to enforce changes at all of these
plants or they will be closed. Not on rump's agenda. He wants the
votes in those states and he thinks he will get it from the big boys
that hold the bucks. If one half of the citizens is ill or dying
their remaining relatives aren't going to vote for him. When pressed,
rump said 'we have a plan to take care of them.' HUH! Show me.
But I agree on the racism and immigration bias. People like that
just don't count
