Trump fired every single member of his HIV/AIDS council without telling them why.

The irony of him blaming the USPS for not charging enough - and then using FedEx...

I would bet that he didn’t write the letter himself either.

If it wasn't scrawled in crayon, I'll bet you're right.

Replying to @funder and @InspiringU2
I’ll go further. This is a form of genocide. If he does this to one section of society, he will do it to others. Imagine what he would do if he had total power. I can imagine him ordering the killing of people he doesn’t like or fears - disabled, elderly, poor...

@Steinbeckfan1
He and the GOP are trying to kill the elderly, poor, disabled, etc through what they have done already to healthcare, what they will do in the future to social safety nets. It will be a Holocaust without Directly killing anyone.

Replying to @funder
Wonderful. I fully expect my HIV meds to be cancelled by Medicaid. Maybe I should start packing for the concentration camps.

Replying to @funder
This is Pence. Wake up.

Deliberately harming people with HIV and making it harder to address the epidemic? That's got Pence written all over it. He did it in Indiana, after all.

It’s what these religious fucks did in the 80’s. They killed my friend. He would be alive today if they had made the drugs available and insurance companies didn’t End coverage on AIDS patients. This was a deliberate move by rich conservatives to kill gays.

1. My pathetic senator

You'd expect Senator Rob Portman, of all people, to speak out against any policy decisions that adversely affect gay people. But, then, that would mean he'd have to grow a spine.

Team Trump allows the killing of innocents.
They choose who will live & who will perish & write laws that make it so.
It is genocide without the ovens.

The entire redumbliCON political party is mentally ill.

4. Trump is clueless about everything.

I can't begin to guess what he thinks he knows about HIV/AIDS, but whatever that is, it's steeped in ignorance.

The other, even scarier possibility is that he thinks that by firing them he's saving the government significant money.
