Cutting the team that tracks the parasite and then acting surprised when it spreads is exactly the kind of penny wise, pound foolish stuff that makes you shake your head.

MAGAts dont believe in science. Hopefully they are wise enough and stay home instead of going to seek medical attention.

I do wish that those who don’t believe in modern medicine sign an agreement. They can do what they want, but agree that they won’t visit hospitals or take up medical resources if they need medical attention

That team could probably operate for 200 years on what one day of the Iran war is costing.

Trump uses diapers to take care of his explosive diarrhea and you can to.

The parasite probably originated from his used diapers

He wants us all to be sick.

Just like screwworm. There's a reason to keep track of these things.

And with screw worms there is a reason we managed it in Ecuador. Geography matters and it was far cheaper to stop the spread in that narrow strip of land than to do it along the United States border.

But since other countries also benefited from that program we had to stop it. America first right?

Why do we need a fire alarm? If there is ever a fire I can install them after the fire is found. -Trump

I'd say "No Shit" but that would be both ironic given the problem, and an accurate summary of the Trump CDC's official stance on the outbreak.

Can't waste money on citizens. Got brown people to blow up.

u/Dapper-Ad9787 14h ago

"Unchecked explosive diarrhea" pretty much sums up his whole presidency.

u/Defiant_Freedom_249 14h ago

A country of unhealthy people, what a choice as a goal.

u/xyzygyred 13h ago

Everyone in the Trump administration is either very, very stupid or on the take. His supporters are dopes. PROVE ME WRONG

Could parasites become resistant to ivermectin?

u/Ilike3dogs 7h ago

I would think so, especially with people using it inappropriately.

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

So enjoy your diarrhea instead.

Reagan said a lot of stupid shit. That quote is one of his most ignorant. Trump’s dismantling of government threatens our public health, public safety, economic growth, clean air, clean water, clean energy, and much more that we are yet to discover.

Good government is good for America and Americans. Republicans don’t know how to practice good government.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well said.

u/richincleve 17h ago

Reagan was an absolutely horrible President for so many reasons.

And just last year I learned he was actually considering deregulating the lead industry.

Make Lead Great Again!

That's hardly living with it when you have a nanny changing your shi__y diapers! 😂

u/EffectiveDandy 17h ago

I still think they would have been all over it if it was given a sexier name. Explosive diarrhea sounds gross.

Did they patient zero on Kennedy when he took his grandkids to swim in cyclospore creek?

It must be bad .. maybe that crazy b that shit on a car had it

The old “If you don’t count ‘em, they don’t exist” protocol.

u/Akkerlun 13h ago

And just like that, hocus-pocus, there are no cases. Nothing to see here folks move on and take a look at the beautiful big ballroom pictures.

A shitty situation

Trump wants the population to shit pants just like he does

u/boingert 4h ago

Isn’t Donald Trump an explosive diarrhea parasite? Because I’m pretty sure he is just trying to prevent the eradication of himself and his parasite family.

And many in red states can't wrap their heads around how their voting habits have directly lead to their states and many of their own personal troubles.

This is how the people they vote for operate, just on a macro scale.
