In 8 Epic Tweets, Neil deGrasse Tyson Poured Fire All Over Trump's Budget Plan

By now, you've probably heard of Donald Trump's elaborate budget proposal, aptly named "America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again." The plan slashes spending for various government agencies and programs (including Meals on Wheels) while boosting funds for defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs. The manifesto has received quite a bit of backlash for its extreme cuts, but one (famous) man's response stands out among the rest.

He explained how cuts to science, health, and the arts would make America "weak," "sick," and "stupid." Read on to see his rallying cry against the plan and what he thinks is actually necessary to make American great again.
