Is Trump An Imbecile Or Are The People Who Listen To Him ?

BREAKING: Trump just claimed at the Elon Musk / DOGE Press Conference that Biden spent $8 Million to make mice transgender.
FACT CHECK: He's an imbecile: He's confusing Transgender mice with Transgenic mice, which are genetically modified mice used in medical and biological research. Scientists insert genes from other species or altered genes into the mouse genome to study things like: - Cancer - Alzheimer’s - Diabetes - Hormonal and neurological development This is standard, essential biomedical research used all over the world.
" They spent $8 million on making mice transgender , and those are better than many of the others," Trump said. "I could sit here all day and read things just like that, but we have other things to do."

The claim that the U.S. government spent $8 million to make mice transgender originated from Donald Trump, who mentioned it during a press conference. However, this statement appears to be a misrepresentation of actual research funding.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded studies involving transgenic mice, which are genetically modified for medical research. Some of these studies examine the effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy on various health conditions, including HIV, cancer, and asthma. The total funding for these projects amounts to $8,290,053, but they are focused on understanding hormone effects rather than "making mice transgender".

He thinks Wall Street started calling him Taco, but it was a British tabloid.
He so desperately wanted the Qatari Boening 747-8, now he says it's too big, won't fit in the garage, LOL !
The Sand King couldn't sell it for a fire sale price of $200 million in February, now it looks like the US might not accept it after all,
pending further negotiations as the Qataris are no worried about future "liabilities".
Tariff's on, then off, then on until June 09, 2025, but not all of them...
Trump refused to allow foreign companies to bid on US Steel, Biden codified it, Trump just celebrated the takeover of US Steel
by Nippon Steel and tried to sell it to the steelworkers that US Steel will always be an American company )( in name only )
In typical TACO Administration logic, the US Energy Department rescinded $4 Billion in grants to 24 American Corporations which were awarded under the prior Administration. So much for being US Business friendly, wait for the ripple effects and bankruptcies to follow
Can't make this shit up, especially day after day.
Especially galling to watch Caroline Leavitt writhe in fawning hero worship after the latest President with dementia.

Why is Trump complaining about important medical research?
Was the goal of the research "making mice transgender"?
Nope, but I would be interested in knowing what specific breakthroughs have been made, how many lives have been saved with these studies and how much has been spent. We all know the government pours money into projects that have yielded no real results.

Note that transgenic dates back to at least 2019 and was in fact sponsored research during COVID and was key in bringing the successful vaccines to market in record times.
It's no surprise that the current Administration can't put two and two together to get a win out what appears to have been yet another Trump mispronunciation or just age related word confusion ( Harlem/Harvard ), (Transgenic/transgender).
They should be championing transgenic research instead of cancelling grants because of "queer mice research".
No need, just study trump.
That is totally UNFAIR!!!
Since when are facts allowed in a conversation about science? Everyone KNOWS that science is just egg-head opinions...
Good articles, thanks.
Yes and yes. Both are true...
Trump is a clown. He is a 5th grade bully in the body of a 78+ year old man. It is truly amazing to me that this idiot continues with his insane tariffs. Seems to me his presidency is just one big reality show where what is important (to him) is to be in the limelight. And he will do whatever he wants as long as it appeals to his base regardless of the consequences to the nation (and to his base). The man is an irrational, irresponsible, vindictive buffoon. Unfortunately he is also a successful con-man as evidenced by his extant supporters.
Trump has been mentally ill for many many years. Because he can "function" despite his mental illness it doesnt get talked about nearly enough.
Not sure how you can say that. It is mentioned here a dozen or so times a day including links to articles that say the same thing. Maybe the real issue/frustration is not enough people (in your opinion) are buying into the mental illness angle. Maybe there is a credibility issue since many of the same people that were covering up Joes mental decline are the ones now saying Trump is mentally ill. Or maybe people are just waiting for an actual medical diagnosis and not the partisan opinions of Trump haters.
I don't think most people who meet a person who they very quickly realize lies or exaggerates constantly, is a massive narcissist, cheats on decades of taxes and numerous wives, and who exhibits the general knowledge about the world, math and science of a 10-year-old, would think that person "mentally ill" but they'd definitely conclude that person was a monumentally stupid asshole everyone should avoid.
When you combine all of that with a person who is also a malevolent, megalomaniacal sociopath/psychopath, who rambles on incoherently for hours, one could well conclude that person is a monumentally stupid mentally ill asshole who everyone should definitely avoid.
I cannot make a clinical diagnosis, but he certainly is way off the scale for normal. He is childish, vindictive, arrogant, stupid, irresponsible, irrational, and a bully. And he is the most prolific liar I have ever witnessed ... he is so over the top it is hard to believe any human being would lie this often. If that is a result of mental illness it does not matter. This sick individual is PotUS and his (blind) supporters keep defending his irrational and dangerous actions.
Good example of one of the things wrong with [deleted.] [✘] They throw out their opinion as fact and then try to tell everyone what they should do. Heaven forbid people think for themselves.
Post something other than this boring, relentless, no-value 'opinion as fact' bullshit. Almost every post here is opinion unless stated explicitly as a fact.
If you disagree with an opinion (or a fact or an argument) then counter it instead of constantly making the valueless claim that every opinionated post is portrayed as fact.

You haven't seen any of Caroline Leavitt's off the charts fawning lies during the WH pressers?
Kriti Noem "testifying in Congress" where the Bibles actually ask for asylum in Mexico?
I would throw in the Sec Ed for her stupid comments about A1 sauce, aka Artificial Intelligence, just she's just in over her head, not a deliberate liar.
They do not compare to Trump. He is the source of the lies.
Trump never had any level to decline FROM. He's a moron.
Bingo.
He's the enabler. The encouragement. The assured pardon.
Yes.
I choose "C", all of the above.
