    What they don’t seem to understand is that Trump WANTS to sabotage the government. He WANTS to run it all into the ground. He doesn’t want to “drain the swamp,” he wants to turn it into a shit-filled cesspool of corruption. He sees what Putin has in Russia, and he wants that here.

    He. Wants. To. Destroy. America.

    Do you really believe that Trump cares about 75 Nobel Laureates?

      Trump nominates candidates, and the Senate confirms them. This letter urges not to confirm and is addressed to the members of the Senate.

      I can think of at least one Nobel laureate whom he really dislikes.

    It’s just going to make me more angry when they ignore it and confirm him anyway.

    It’s nice of them to list their qualifications and the subject in which they earned a Nobel Prize. It makes it so much easier to Trumpistan to disregard them as “mainstream” and part of the commie woke academy.

    If Trump or any of his lackeys respected the opinions of experts or the power of education, this letter would not need to have been written in the first place, because RFK would have been catapulted over the wall of the nearest insane asylum the second he opened his mouth. And besides, since when has Trump ever changed his views or his plans because smart people have told him not to go through with whatever dangerous bullshit it happens to be? His own team is unable to rein him most of the time, and he chose those people.
