King Trump plays to his base. The truth is immaterial to him.

As the President is so uneducated, his suppression of climate science comes as no surprise. However, the following excerpt from the article shocked me: "Dr. Schoonover’s testimony noted that his analysis drew from peer-reviewed scientific journals and work produced by top United States government scientists. That, too, came under attack from the National Security Council, which said that “a consensus of peer reviewed literature has nothing to do with the truth.” What will our dictator-in-the-making do next to abolish all that is good?

"I know climate change. Nobody knows climate change better than me."

In this case the acronym IC used for the administration’s Intelligence Committee is an oxymoron. There is absolutely nothing intelligent in trying to suppress science in favour of a crackpot President’s ignorance.
