So traumatic brain injury research was feeling left out in the things White House wanted to cut. But fear not White House is on the case. Cancer can’t have all the fun. Name yr tragedy, Trump wants to cancel your hope.

Trump plan cuts funding for brain injury research
The Trump administration's budget request eliminates major federal funding for traumatic brain injury research and education, potentially undercutting efforts to address head injuries in sports.
Not mentioned in this story: traumatic brain injury is the "signature wound" of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, so cutting funding for this research negatively impacts American veterans, a group Trump claims to love.
So the administration with a former WWE CEO now want to cut research into traumatic brain injury?
The only person I personally know with TBI was a USMC Lt. Col so this tracks with the total 'fuck you' the government is offering vets.
Fing ah he is!
Wonder if this has anything to do with Roger Goodell's visit from the NFL. I'd think they're not too keen on uncovering more instances of CTE...
This has Roger Goodell written all over it
Has he ever, with so many giant, finalizing to good things steps taken to take away, said anything about what he will do instead? With the money, the time, effort, with his presidency?? Has he ever said? Has he ever been asked?
Let's just go back to the Dark Ages shall we? No No No!!! What's wrong with these jerks? Protest, resist, march!!!!
The US will take decades to recover from this destruction, assuming it ever will. Australia, Canada, the UK and the EU will take over that preeminence. Assuming that the US had it anyway!
Trump is living proof you can still have a full life living with brain damage. So there's that.
If something benefits veterans, Trump hates it.
GOP can stop this - put pressure on them! GOP reps office phones and email boxes need to be flooded!

Tell your Republican Representative You Don’t Want To Pay The Price For Their Billionaire Tax Breaks
Republicans in Congress are trying to ram through the Trump Tax Scam, their tax plan that sells out everyday Americans to help billionaires like Elon Musk get even richer. They’re using budget reconci...
Well Musk and RFKjr believe cancer isn’t real, it’s just something made up by lazy workers to get off work and scam opioids.
I mean Trump literally referred to TBI as a headache during his first term
I'm sure TBIs can be cleared right up with some healing crystals, juice cleanses and a high colonic or two.
These people have proven immune to prosecution for all their crimes, so as a result they live under the delusion that if they have enough money, illness, injury and other misfortunes won't touch them. The result: they have become the pro-death party.
He just staying one step ahead of the 25th
FTG
He literally doesn't care about anyone that doesn't directly line his pockets.
I guess he’s not interested in understanding his own damaged brain.
Where is all our tax money going then if we aren’t paying for this kind of thing anymore? Where is all of our money going when it’s NOT going anywhere anymore to help us?
This one's close to my heart and I'm LIVID.
My brother runs a lab studying TBI at Northwestern. He's been told to euthanize his mice and sell his equipment. His students will be dismissed
This was NIH (not CDC) funded bench science, so a little different, but same target. Don't forget that NIH cuts are affecting far more than cancer
Fuck that guy!
So when do we all just stop paying taxes? No taxation without representation. I don't vote for this abuse of power/terrorism/data theft/dick-tatership. The whole country needs to shut down
Don't you remember that during his first term, Trump complained because they were making pro football less rough? He wants those players to go all out for his entertainment, even if it means they'll have a lifetime of suffering and disability.
Honestly, Trump has no idea what’s going on. He is an empty suit with golf shoes on. That’s why these fascists behind him propped him up and pushed him into office, so they could do whatever they wanted. He’ll say yes and sign anything.
I really hope he has undiagnosed brain cancer.
I assume that his assumption is if it matters, private sector will pick it up. Perhaps Amazon or Target can start offering TBI assessment, treatment and research. No? Well, we’ll just let other countries take the lead, like we’re doing with everything else. “America Last.”
Because his brain is already irreparably damaged?
Going medieval on healthcare

This is much bigger than sports injuries. Think of all the vets with TBIs; munitions specialists are at risk due to repeated exposures.
Killer of hope, good name for him. Everything Trump Touches Dies (thank you, Rick Wilson)
If your medical experience is limited to having the best doctors at no cost to you what do you care about medical research. You already have the benefit of the experience gained from the research done to date.
