I don't understand, cancer isn't real anymore either now?

All you have to understand is that Trump can't figure out a way to use cancer research to line his pockets so he doesn't want anyone to invest time and effort and money into it.

People who voted for him don't seem to have realized it yet but this administration is going to be very expensive to the American tax payer. We're going to be trying to throw money at all the problems he's ~~causes~~ causing for decades after this.

Yeah. This is going to be hard to rebuild. It's easier to destroy and erase than ~~improve~~ rebuild.

One of my doctors said it was real but I'm not sure if I should trust him now.
