Kind of quiet in here. Let's do a list of shit things Trump

has done no matter how small or large. Every once in a while a politico or newscaster will remind of something that was horrible but that I had forgotten about. There must be thousands. I'll start with one "small" one.

by emboldening bigotry and hatred. I have grown to have great disdain for not only him but the GOP as a whole, as well as many of my neighbors who support him. I know he's not completely responsible, but as an American citizen, I am embarrassed by what this country has become.

Stormy.

At this point, we really should be looking for which website has the most comprehensive list of all the crimes and alleged crimes he has committed.

So much corruption that we know about this time around … can you imagine how bad it is if we included the stuff we DONT know about?

He's been a constant DDOS on our system of governance and justice since at least 2015.

Attempts to destroy America’s best academic institutions

by Mark, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 13:43 (125 days ago) @ Mark

and the world class scientific research that occurs in America’s best research centers …

Direct Attacks on Research Funding

Mass Grant Terminations:
In 2025, the administration terminated or froze over 7,800 research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation (NSF).

Ideological Targeting: Projects involving "disfavored" topics—such as climate change, infectious diseases, and diversity/equity (DEI)—were disproportionately targeted.

Financial Loss: Roughly 2,600 grants remain permanently canceled or unfrozen, totaling a loss of $1.4 billion in scientific investment.

Proposed Budget "Gutting": Trump’s 2026 budget request sought historic cuts to major science agencies:

NSF: 57% cut.
NIH: 40% cut.
NASA Science: 47% cut.

Note: While Congress has largely rejected these extreme levels, the uncertainty has caused universities like UPenn, Northwestern, and the University of California to implement campus-wide hiring freezes.

Slashing "Indirect Costs": The administration attempted to cap the "overhead" payments federal grants provide to universities (for electricity, labs, and administration) from 40% down to 15%, which university advocates say would make it impossible to maintain elite research facilities.

Economic Warfare on Elite Universitie

Tiered Endowment Tax: Under the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (2025), the tax on private university investment income was raised from a flat 1.4% to a tiered structure reaching 8% for the wealthiest schools.

Institutional Impact: Yale University estimates this tax alone will cost them $280 million in its first year, forcing cuts to financial aid and faculty salaries.

Targeted Funding Freezes: The administration used billions in federal grants as a "lever" to force ideological changes.
Harvard University: Faced a $2.2 billion funding freeze in April 2025 as the administration demanded it end DEI programs and restructure its governance.

Other Freezes: Similar freezes targeted Columbia ($400M), Cornell ($1B), and Brown ($510M).

Hollowing Out the Scientific Workforce

Agency Exodus: Through forced relocations and resignation incentives, the administration has overseen the departure of over 25,000 personnel from federal science agencies, including 5,000 from NASA and 14,000 from the department overseeing the NIH.

International Talent Drain: Aggressive immigration policies and visa revocations for students involved in protests have led to a 17% drop in international student enrollment, threatening America’s "soft power" and its pipeline of future scientists.

how the military didn't turn on him and that point and today is about as perplexing to me as why anyone supports him still.

I feel like asking sometimes - do you really hate me/us that bad that you're willing to support this piece of shit?

Most people never bothered to look at his history

edited by Mark, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 07:26

but he’s been a horrible person his entire life.

- he’s openly admitted he cheated on his SATs and paid someone to take them for him
- he was always a horrible student. Basically his Dad bought him his degrees along with giving him the equivalent of 400 million (in today’s dollars) to start and bail out his failing businesses (which number in the 20s). Who tf get 20x attempts to run failing businesses?
- his whole children’s charity ripoff saga
- in Federal court in the ‘90s he admitted he prefers lying vs saying something that could be received in a negative light
- his ad asking for the return of the death penalty vs the Central Park five (who were latered exonerated by DNA evidence)
- he has ripped off thousands of small contractors he hired over his lifetime bc he knew they couldnt afford to fight him in court, so he just never paid them.
- and lets not forget he was unanimously convicted for 34 felonies of which his crime was essentially stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from US tax payers (by not paying his fair share of taxes). That’s 34x regular Americans said this guy committed felonies.
- he is a child rapist and pedophile and has laundered billions of dollars for the Russian mafia.
- there’s allegation that not only does he have a list of abortions he’s paid for, but he’s overseen the murder of raped children

He is a monster.

This is sort of my point. He has done so many bad things,

by Grantland, y'allywood, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 07:47 (125 days ago) @ Mark

and continues to do them, that there is only time to focus on the bad shit he is doing in the present.

He lost me forever at the "grab them by the p*" chat.

That should have been it for every level-headed human being on Earth, period, and we'd be living in a different timeline.
