It seems that most politicians are sponsored by groups like AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation, so these politicians are going to serve the sponsor, and not the citizens. A democracy WILL NOT WORK unless these sponsorships are limited and made public, IF that is possible.

In a way, not surprising at all. Public officials like Dr. Birx (who was actually a respected expert on AIDS before Covid) and Fauci often restrained Trump's impulses and Trump hated it. He believes Covid cost him the election (and it did). His new appointees are a revenge against public health.

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans, according to Pew. Trump’s approval rating has dropped from 40% in the fall to 37% today.
