Posters here like Dope1 criticized democrats who "sat there as the Secret Service director hugged DJ the cancer patient".

Umm.

Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a 13-year-old from Texas who was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, was president Trump's guest at his State of the Union.

SHOT: Trump highlighted Daniel's case in an effort to prioritize reducing childhood cancer rates, which he touted as a key component of his "Make America Healthy Again" approach to public health as president.

CHASER: DJ was treated by doctors at Baylor College of Medicine at the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center.

In a public video message two weeks ago, Paul Klotman, the medical school's president, said Baylor is poised to lose as much as $80 million to $90 million in funding from the changes to NIH funding. Sarah Heilbronner, an associate professor of neurosurgery at Baylor, recently told the Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Network, that the cuts threaten to short-circuit her work.

Snip...

University leaders argue the Trump administration fundamentally misunderstands how research is funded. Without the money to pay for buildings, staff and equipment – all of which can be classified as indirect costs – research can't be done at all.

Barbara R. Snyder, president of the Association of American Universities, has said the Trump administration's proposal is "quite simply a cut to the life-saving medical research that helps countless American families.”

Without funding for indirect costs, children like DJ would not be treated.

For King Donald, DJ was a prop and he cares nothing whether he or others die from funding cuts to medical facilities, much like his disregard for his nephew's disabled son who Trump said: "Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida."
