Unlike during the Bush years, I've tried to keep Trump off of these pages because he and his supporters are such garbage human beings it's just too fucking depressing. But today's announcement that they're now seeking to cut funding to the Special Olympics may be the best distillation of him and his administration: it's not enough to engorge themselves with all the riches and power to heights of absurdity - they also go out of their way to be needlessly cruel to people in need. As the Atlantic once pointed out tough things happening to these people aren't unfortunate side effects of policies - the cruelty foisted on them is exactly the very point.
And the cost of the cuts the Special Olympics, you ask? Well, it turns out it could be covered by the cost of 5 Trumps weekends to Mar-a-Lago.
If you're not fucking embarrassed to be a human yet, I really don't know what to tell you.
