For years, Black troops fought for policies that allowed them to thrive in the service—including around grooming. To Hegseth, that’s the whole problem: a military with Black leadership and without obstacles to a diverse corps is one in which white men have to take orders from the wrong kind.

Let's be clear: No other scientific or public health body agrees with Trump's autism conclusions. But they conveniently line up with RFK Jr.'s attacks on the pharmaceutical industry. They also appear to take inspiration from a long string of bonkers wellness myths.

Trump’s long history of being obsessed with eugenics set the tone for his recent press conference, where the president and RFK Jr. framed autism as something to eliminate—rather than what scientists agree it is: a spectrum of neurological differences with a wide range of symptoms.

After Charlie Kirk's horrific murder, Trump has blamed the “radical left” for political violence in the US and has vowed to demolish it. But, his use of this term has been rather elastic, affording him the leeway to pursue anyone he considers an opponent or detractor. Even, possibly, you.
Who’s part of Trump’s “radical left”? Maybe you.
