I hate that selfish, short sighted, miserable man, and everything he stands for.

Hating Trump himself is relatively pointless. I hate the fact that Trump is only a symptom of a deeper disease, one that wouldn't diminish in the slightest if he were to vanish tomorrow.

But what can any of us do...

Yep, it's not just Trump, but the conservative party and the voters that empower him. In this instance, they aren't cutting funding to scientific institutions just because Trump wants it, but because their base wants it and loves it.
