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it does use "sciency" stuff, but often its outdated, or misinterpretated, like invermectins effect on covid, which was treating the parasitic infection that was hampering the immune system rather than the covid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

There are a few delightful digs like this in this article.
The only thing that's golden is the tacky veneer on the White House walls in the picture.

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.
