Trump Log #43: You Can't Make This Shit Up

On the same day that Melania announces her "Be Best" program that among other things concentrates on children's health, her husband asks Congress for a massive cut in CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program.  You can't make this shit up. The CHIP program has existed since the 1990's and has been nothing but a success. Even if you look at from only a fiscal side, by getting to health problems early, we save lots of money. Even if it weren't fiscally sound, isn't children's health worth throwing money at. What are our values? 

Reading this week's Trump logs and Trump logs from the past, our values clearly do not include children's health ... in any way, shape or form.
