Trump: A golden science of deals. Lesson 1. You pay me and I won’t hurt you much…

What? By dying?

That Orange Pedo love’s ignorance not science.

Trump’s understanding of science is on a par with that of Flat Earth and Hollow Earth believers. It’s hard to foster what you don’t understand.

That’s probably what the mean… :(

Golden Age of Science (according to Republicans): Flat Earth, Lizard People, Bigfoot, Aliens

pseudoscience, alternative science as well, crystals, Chronic lyme, anti-vaxx, humours,etc.

Bleach in veins!

clean out your hardened artieries with bleach, and probably drain cleaner.

hollow earth is where all the kaiju come form.

Yeah bleach injections for covid you don’t want these leaded gasoline enthusiasts around any scale.

Golden like piss

This coming from the same guy who was confused about what happens with magnets just a few months ago and now he tells people in order to make money you “do magnets”.

A real golden shower of wisdom from that bag.

Only if the word is redefined to mean “shitting your diaper and lying about it”.

…by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?

The Golden Age will begin once the Orange Era concludes.

“Can”, not “will”. A subtle but important distinction.

can usher in new gold in age of science?

i think they’ve been doing that already. and lining their pockets with it.

We’ll reach new heights in astrology and horoscopes. Tea leaves will hold no more secrets and we’ll become a major exporter in rabbit feet! /s

I guess pseudoscience is a kind of a science

it does use “sciency” stuff, but often its outdated, or misinterpretated, like invermectins effect on covid, which was treating the parasitic infection that was hampering the immune system rather than the covid itself,.

…by leaving office

Do they even know how science works?

Science is now illegal for all except military.

Yeah. It’s a guy in a white lab coat (and for them, it has to be a guy) saying whatever they want him to say.

He won’t. But he totally can

In China?

They don’t mean “Golden age of science” as a time when lots of awesome and important science gets done. He fired all the scientists. But he IS having the plain black ink in science printers replaced with a sparkly gold ink, so all of the bad science will look way more shiny and golden.

This is just a euphemism for alchemy isn’t it. He’s going to dump billions of taxpayer dollars into a quest to turn lead into gold.

No more absurd than the LLM bubble.

Soooo, he’s going to use tax payer dollars to fund Christian science reading rooms across the nation?

Uh-huh

Can, but won’t.

Also, can’t.

Defunding is not how, but he is the stupidest person to ever hold the office, so expecting him to know better is a recipe for disappointment.

By dying maybe

Ha, ha, ha

What, they’re seriously believing Trump and “science” belong on the same page together?!?

In other old news: the sugar industry says “sugar isnt dangerouse and too much sugar doesnt exist” (yes this is actually a statement of the sugar industry)

Donald Trump says Donald Trump is a pretty cool guy

Sadly he is an old man who won’t die soon enough.

he would likely die bathing in water filled with gold particles.

Drinking molten gold would be more suited to his crimes.

Pour it down, Targaryen style.

Miserable fucking sycophants. He’s actually ushering in a dark age worse than the one the followed the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

By driving science away to places it can thrive

What, he’s going to find out the youngest age a girl can get pregnant?

This has been known for all of human history it’s around 13

Pregnant at 4, birth at 5 years old, 7months, 21 days. Youngest pregnancy ever confirmed.

I would like to punch somebody really hard on the face right now. I need a drink. At no point in history should that have ever happened. I feel sick.

Goddamn how???

Precocious puberty and sexual abuse. They never found out the identity of the father.

Well we’d rather forget, thank you very much, but Crump keeps reminding us

He could by getting all conservatives out of policy making positions, but he is too much of a bitch to do it.

Wait, this isn’t the Onion?

I’m sure he could, but it would be in Europe away from him and his science denying flat earth believing pals.

Golden age of ignorant people.

so back to drowning women in rivers because they float like a duck?

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

By she turned me into a Newt! ^I^ ^got^ ^better^.

This reads like a North Korean headline

All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets

- Golden Scientist Trump

The golden age of “who knows what’s happening”

You mean the Trump that’s responsible for the brain drain in the US because he declared war on science and scientists? The guy that hired conspiracy theorists and fox News anchors for high regime positions and a health minister who’s into roadkill penisses, brain worms and swimming in feces while claiming paracetamol causes autism and vaccinations are bad?

Yeah, I bet he’ll be the inventor of the Idiocracy time machine. Unless that ride requires magnets.

the article seems pretty partisan and populist. selectively chooses facts for discredit while omitting any admission of credibility. does not address the problems or issues with a proposed solution. lots of suspicion, unfair assumptions about motives, and irrelevantly keeps tieing back to the trump administration. the highly partisan angle seems to discredit arstechnica as an intelligent unpreferential information source for productive discussion.

By golden age they mean something cheap with gold spray paint.

New golden shower*
