They may have used transgender mice for experiments possibly. But said like this, it makes it look like that was the entire point of the study, which it clearly isn't. Also, we shouldn't exclude the possibility that Donald Trump genuinely believes that this was the point of the study, and he really is just that stupid.

Someone did the math, and I think they said scrapping this bill, if that money were instead given to every American, would amount to less than a fifth of a cent. You'd literally have to scrap another 4 just like it in order to save every American 1 cent. This isn't "cutting efficiency." This is just political weaponization.

Well said, but your statement begs me to ask:

Do You know and understand the difference between Transgender & Transgenic?

Trump and Republicans don’t, unless they have a mouse whisper… 🐁

He's just as dumb as he was in 2016 but now he's so fucking scary.
