Six members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS abruptly resigned this week, citing the Trump administration's neglect toward fighting the health epidemic.

The departing members of the White House advisory council penned a chiding editorial blasting President Trump's failure to combat the disease during his first 100 days in office.


"We have dedicated our lives to combating this disease and no longer feel we can do so effectively within the confines of an advisory body to a president who simply does not care," wrote Lambda Legal lawyer Scott Schoettes, in a statement published Friday through Newsweek magazine.

He stepped down Tuesday, along with Lucy Bradley-Springer, Gina Brown, Ulysses Burley III; Michelle Ogle and Grissel Granados.

1. Why should Trumplethinskin care?

It doesn't directly affect him, and I wouldn't doubt that he thinks that anyone that gets infected, probably deserves to be infected and whatever happens to them, happens to them.

So what?

2. Reagan didn't give a damn either....then his buddy Rock died

and THEN we could finally free up a few bucks for that unknown disease.

3. in the case of Trump i don't think he would even if his own kids died of it

in fact i think he would use the sympathy to profit himself more.

6. In any other administration, this would be the big news of the week

In the Trump omnishambles, it can easily get lost amongst all the other disasters, scandals, conspiracies and fuck-ups.
