Donald Trump made it clear when he was reelected last year that he was in it for revenge, power and hate. Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated against deadly diseases, federal public health agencies are now leading the anti-science charge. The immigration system has long been plagued by inefficiencies, arbitrariness and racism, but the Trump administration has made an already-flawed system even more inhumane. Federal judges have since called the deployments illegal, ordering the troops to leave, but the Trump administration is appealing their rulings in higher courts. For the Trump administration — specifically, Elon Musk — it mattered most as an easy target.
