Donald Trump honored a young cancer patient while addressing a joint session of Congress but seems not to have recognized the irony of doing so after he cut cancer research funds.
One of Trump’s very first moves in office was to pursue considerable cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which would snatch away billions of dollars that go toward the studies of cancer and other diseases. However, his and Elon Musk’s attack on cancer research funds started before he entered office. In December, the House agreed on a bipartisan budget deal to keep the government funded and running through the holidays. Following the agreement, though, Trump and Musk pitched a fit, demanding House Republicans to go back on their word, reject the bill, and create a new budget that adhered to Musk’s demands. The original bill designated $190 million for childhood cancer research, which has long been a bipartisan priority in the United States. When Musk, the richest man in the world, giddily introduced his new budget bill, the $190 million funds for childhood cancer research had been cut without cause.
