Reviewing Trump’s relationship with science

Jeffrey discusses criticisms by Wallace Manheimer et al on the article The undermining of science is Trump's legacy by David Kramer. The writers attack Kramer and imply that he wrote a political opinion piece. Nothing could be further from the truth. Kramer's report is good science journalism, focused on what highly respected scientists and former presidential advisers have said about Donald Trump's impact on science, particularly with respect to the role of facts and fact-based decision making. It illustrates each issue with facts and examples. Kramer accurately describes Trump's handling of the pandemic as an example of his undermining of science.
