Press release from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy claims science + tech highlights of Trump& #39;s first term include "ending the covid-19 pandemic" and "taking action to understand and protect the environment." https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/27/white-house-science-office-ending-pandemic-432827">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...
The truth? The Trump administration has or is in the process of rolling back over 100 pieces of legislation that protect the "clean air, clean water, and resilient environment" the press release claims to have protected.

The Trump administration also deliberately misrepresented the findings of the National Climate Assessment and just this fall hired new appointees who explicitly reject the science to "consult" on the NCA process in the future. https://twitter.com/KHayhoe/status/1067450865303330818?s=20">https://twitter.com/KHayhoe/s...
