Trump ordered the USDA to close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Maryland, which houses the nation's oldest and most prominent bee research laboratory, and almost no one blinked an eye.
THIS MATTERS.
First, this is just one of the cuts to agricultural research funding he’s made, which, together, cost us $32 million. That’s like six Trump weekend golf vacations. If he wants to save money, he can start by cutting those.
Second, scientists JUST found that bee venom can kill cancer cells. MAGA loves to say we wouldn’t be able to say something nice about the current president “even if he cured cancer.” Well, now we’ll never know. Because, yet again, he cut funding for it.
And finally, the part everyone’s ignoring: he’s only president for 2.5 more years. In 2.5 years, someone who ACTUALLY loves America will win office and inherit a repair job. The brilliant people he fired will all have found new jobs, and we’ll have to find people to replace them.
The damage he’s doing will take a LONG time to undo.
