Trump doesn't like science. He famously said in 2016, "I love the poorly educated!".

@arstechnica @mrbadger42

I’ll say it again. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes the right to scientific knowledge and culture (Article 27).

MAGA’s assault on science and fact-based discourse are infringements of human rights and someone should drag this clique in front of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

@arstechnica
yes congress rejected it and reinstituted funding but OMB won't release the funds.
@arstechnica Trump is a wrecking ball to America in every possible metric. We will be picking up the pieces for decades. Anti-American actions wrapped in America First patriotic propaganda.
