It's worse than that. PEPFAR was a signature initiative of the previous Republican president.

Why must everything be viewed as Democrat vs. Republican? Trump is best viewed as a case of outsider vs. entrenched bureaucracy / deep state. Party is irrelevant.
Because he is being backed to the hilt by the Congressional GOP, and most of the GOP-leaning states, a fact which I feel sure has not escaped your attention until now.
I'm guessing you only started to pay attention to the right in 2014.
Everything really changed with the bailouts then the tea party movement. The republicans went from big business, lower taxes, exclusively to populism.
The dems are going through a similar bend currently and probably would have happened sooner if they hadn't undermined their voters nomination of Bernie in 2015.
The republicans (love um or hate them) didn't change the rules to scuttle Trump. One party is listening to their base the other is trying to control them (and imo is imploding because of it). I'm honestly a bit of a neo con so there isn't a place for me in a populist republican party. I'll just keep throwing votes at Chase Oliver / similar outsiders until we have a return to sanity.
