Dismantling the infectious disease detection and mitigation programs.

These are conservative problems that go against the maintenance of the pax-americana world order that we have all reaped the benefits of. The world feels like a much much more dangerous place to me because of his actions. Even if we somehow step away from this ledge, that doesn't mean he didn't try to set the world on fire.
And this is to say nothing about the corruption and self dealing that normally seems to get conservatives panties in a bunch.
