Trump did something great. He signed autism bill into law providing $1.8B in research funding.

This is pretty amazing. Autism affects 1 in 59 children in America. TY Trump.

And? He proposed cutting all funding for autism and development disability 6 months ago.

This isn't him doing something great. This is him getting his ass handed to him for suggesting it in the first place.


  • The budget eliminates all funding for autism and developmental disability from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which funds the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs, improving access to health care services and information for people with I/DD and their families. It would also cut all HRSA funding for diversity training for healthcare workers, negatively impacting how people with disabilities are treated in medical settings.

Great! That brings the count of positive things he's done in three years to two. (After the expanded medical care access for veterans).

Edit: Never mind, I see that he's just trying to make up for wanting to cut it. Still stuck at one.

The most pressing issue is to address the criminality, corruption, and violation of office of this president. Once he faces justice for his multitude of wrongdoings, then people should consider whether he deserves gratitude. Not before.

I edited my post after you quoted but this was him getting his ass handed to him. This was the same budget that suggested defunding the Special Olympics.

Just another example of these sick twisted fucks getting raked over the coals for being assholes in the first place. I won't give him any credit for changing his mind.

I'm glad he signed it but why are you giving trump credit? This is an extension of the 2014 act which enhanced and extended a 2006 bill.

Also as others said he was against it before he was for it.

Woah! Woah! Woah! Let's get something straight right now: Trump doesn't thik[sic] and Trump doesn't have a heart.

Trump just got confused by someone claiming liberalism is a mental illness, and he ignorantly thinks autism is a mental illness, so he thinks he'll be celebrated for "rescuing" people from the mental illness that is liberalism. #trumplogic

All kidding aside, this is good news.

Huh?
Its a re-authorization.

Did you thank Obama when he signed it in 2014?
Did you thank Bush when he signed it as the Combating autism Act?
Are you going to thank every president who reauthorizes this act that dates back to 2006?

Would you like to talk about the changes to the act over the years and discuss what are the significant milestones in the act?
do you normally go on to internet forums and thank Presidents, even if those presidents are not members of that forum?

Why wouldn't he think autism is a mental illness, that what Fox news says.

I disagree strongly. Trump thinks of himself constantly to the exclusion of everyone else and he has the biggest heart when it comes to the only one he loves, himself.

This smells like "I'm in trouble so I'll throw a bone at Medicare and the retarded kids, and it's not my money anyway".

Ah, so he realized it wasn't truly an Obama bill so he didn't have to reverse it. :joycat:
