I am not one of those who tries to pretend that Trump is not the current sitting President of the United States. I do, however, totally acknowledge that Donald Trump is by far the worst President this nation has ever had and that he is pushing this great nation into fascism and destroying every good aspect of this nation that that the founding fathers created.
They're talking about cutting off funding for Medicaid and Medicare, reducing Social Security payments, cutting funding for numerous medical research efforts, laying off thousands of IRS customer service reps in the middle of tax season, firing thousands of workers who work in public health efforts, closing Social Security offices in rural communities leaving residents in those areas without anything like remotely nearby assistance and requiring those affected to travel large distances to get in-person help.
They fired FAA workers just after we've had a string of deadly aviation disasters. They fired the Energy Department workers who maintain our nation's nuclear arsenal and got so much negative feedback on that from Americans that they had to rehire them all.
Evidently your right-wing propaganda swamps failed to tell you that the reason Democrats failed to applaud was that the Trump administration had just days before cut off funding for children's cancer research. They were disgusted by the obvious hypocrisy of Trump parading a child cancer victim before the Nation for applause right after Trump had cut off funding to help cure childhood cancers.
