Trump cuts teen pregnancy prevention programs.

Trump doesn't put any thought into what he is doing. It's like if it is something Obama put in place, successful or not, Trump wants to get rid of it.

Pretty sure any Republican president would be doing the same thing (erasing Obama's legacy) and be doing it better.

I'm not so sure of that. I think there are republicans who look at the data and make reasonable decisions. I don't think all republicans are as ego driven as Trump.

And, getting rid of teen pregnancy prevention programs, with such positive results, can hardly be considered "doing it better".

Another Republican president would be doing a better job of removing Obama's legacy than Trump.

There is no need to remove successful programs regardless of who put them in place. Good politicians know that and don't let their egos get in the way of doing what is right.

Good politicians are few and far between.

I disagree. We just hear more about the bad ones.

Trump wants to pay for his wall with tax cuts, he is funding his opioid abuse program with the funds being used for opioid abuse prevention. Sounds pretty Republican to me.

But why? Just to be mean? Much of what Obama did is beneficial to the country.
