The desperate attention seekers at PETA have been down at Mar-a-Lago with a boring (and repetitive) ad truck shamelessly begging for President Donald Trump’s attention.
We’re sharing an important message with President-elect Trump: The NIH doesn’t give a rat’s a** about waste! When it comes to trimming government spending, why not start with the $23 billion @NIH blows on useless animal experiments every year? https://t.co/nHLmHeel6F pic.twitter.com/f3F8fBBwVv

But where was PETA during the last four years?
Oh, I know where — they were publicly criticizing him, siding with his enemies, ignoring his huge accomplishments for animals in labs, and trying to co-opt efforts of more effective organizations.
Just a few months ago, PETA was trying to capitalize on Alvin Bragg’s witch hunt and enlist Stormy Daniels to star in an ad mocking Donald Trump. PETA even called Donald Trump, Jr. an “overprivileged and cheating lout” and said he should be deported.
Worst of all, though, are PETA’s blatant lies about Trump’s record. After the first Trump Administration made historic progress to end cruel animal tests, in November 2021 PETA tweeted, “Unfortunately, Trump did nothing to stop animal experimentation.”
Unfortunately, Trump did nothing to stop animal experimentation. But right now, Biden has the opportunity to do just that. He must appoint a new NIH director who is competent, cares about actual science, and doesn’t needlessly abuse animals. https://t.co/Nchsc5jlj9

What!? Stop the presses.
Donald Trump personally defunded the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Fauci-funded animal lab that probably unleashed COVID. Trump’s FDA ended nicotine addiction tests on monkeys and retired them to a sanctuary, his EPA launched a plan to end all animal tests, his USDA ended kitten testing, his VA cut dog experiments, and several agencies under Trump enacted lab animal retirement policies for the first time.
These accomplishments followed investigations by the non-profit White Coat Waste Project, and WCW’s president and founder recently highlighted some of the wins his group scored with the Trump Administration to eliminate cruel animal tests:
“Perhaps Trump’s most legendary blow against animal testing came in April 2020 – just days after a WCW investigation first exposed how Fauci’s National Institute of Health (NIH) division bankrolled the Wuhan lab. Following our exposé, the president personally took to the airwaves and summarily slashed the EcoHealth Alliance’s grant, calling it “tremendous waste.” Most Americans now agree that these gain-of-function experiments on humanized mice almost certainly caused a lab leak and COVID.
This wasn’t the Trump Administration’s only victory against bureaucrats who butcher beagles, bunnies and other animals.
Following another WCW investigation, Trump’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) chief shut down absurd $5.5 million nicotine addiction tests on baby monkeys, retired the primates to a sanctuary and enacted the government’s first-ever agency-wide lab animal retirement policy.
Trump’s Department of Agriculture also shuttered the government’s largest cat laboratory. Our organization exposed how the USDA wasted $22 million on a boondoggle where the agency bought dog and cat meat at Chinese wet markets, flew the pet parts home in carry-on luggage and force-fed it to kittens inside a Beltway lab. Over 5,000 animals perished in USDA’s “Kitten Slaughterhouse.” I adopted two cats that were liberated from this decades-old program, so I’m especially grateful Trump finally shut it down.
With support from WCW allies including Lara Trump, President Trump’s first Veterans Affairs Secretary put the ball in motion to end dog and cat testing at the agency. We’ve since completely eliminated the tests despite the Biden Administration’s best efforts to keep them going.
Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Andrew Wheeler unveiled a landmark plan to completely end testing on dogs, rabbits and other mammals by 2035 and retire lab animals. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration killed the concept to cut animal tests soon after they took power in 2021, much to the chagrin of Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
Even anti-Trump press like Vox and Science are admitting that Trump made big cuts to animal testing, and they’re afraid he’ll do it again.
But, according to the woke liberals at PETA, “Unfortunately, Trump did nothing to stop animal experimentation.” And now they want his support?
Trump adviser Roger Stone recently partnered with White Coat Waste to outline a plan for the incoming Trump Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Stone wrote, “In his triumphant return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, President Trump is perfectly positioned to pick up where he left off and make even more animal welfare history by cutting reckless spending that hurts animals and taxpayers.”
Let’s hope that President Trump continues to MAGA for animals but that the White House door never opens for PETA.
