The Worst Thing Trump Did on 1/27/25

One of the few good things George W Bush did during his term (at the encouragement of Bono from U2) was the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PRPFAR) a program that distributed HIV medications to low-income countries, primarily in Africa where AIDS had ravaged communities. The program is credited with saving 25 million people!!! That's a pretty freaking awesome rate of return!

Not anymore. Trump ordered the decades-old program to be stopped immediately, even stopping the distribution of medication that is sitting in local medical facilities ready to be used. The Trump Administration has said it is only a temporary three-month halt.  Still, they have already turned off the databases needed for the program to work, and there is apparently no plan to restart the database (an official policy position). 

A lot of people will die because of this pettiness from Trump.
