I guess it’s problematic if you think that the point of grants for scientific research, is to spread money around the country like butter on warm toast, as opposed to supporting scientific research. I suspect that there has been plenty of data available about those grants for a long time, and no one has been troubled.

2) My second thought was that a ton of voters have got to be seeing how much money is going to universities that wouldn’t let their families take a shit on campus, and thinking “thank you President Trump!”

Harvard Yard is open to the public every day of the year except one, commencement day. I bet there are a ton more people who know someone who has had cancer and don’t understand why Republicans are cutting funds for medical research.

The second was just an observation that in Trump’s seemingly crazed attacks he may actually be building his block.

His approval scores are below any other President’s at this point, but sure, he’s a sneaky political genius. Do you believe that, or are you just trying to play Devil’s Advocate to the prevailing view that he’s nuts?
