I seem to hear a lot of name calling from many left leaning folks (such as my dad) but nobody can point to any single policy that he enacted that was actually bad. Educate me..
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration sought to strip agencies' budgets and resources used to fund science, experts and research. His Administration purged academic scientists from these agencies' scientific advisory boards, replacing them with representatives of private industry (Friedman Citation2020). Other agency staff, unhappy with the way they were treated, left voluntarily. Trump’s proposed budget included huge cuts in funding for the EPA but also scientific agencies (such as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) critical to reviewing and monitoring climate and environmental degradation.Footnote2 These organisational and budgetary moves were part of a wider effort to dismantle the regulatory state and its organisational apparatus. An agency’s reputation depends on robust procedures and adherence to science; these qualities help garner support and deference from other actors including legislators, judges and the public. Tump’s actions were attempts to undermine those agencies' core effectiveness and authority.
Lol name one political figure has pleased everyone.
