Scientific evidence is liberal fake news, everybody knows that. If it ain’t in the King James Bible, it’s just fake news. Two Corinthians or bust, baby!

Just write the damned truth, and then as needed censor it with REDACTED or CENSORED.

Much of this is pure reversalism: the Obama administration made a point of ‘evidence-based policy making’ (using those exact words), so under Trump the administration has to do the opposite. This need to undo and reject everything associated with the previous administration is almost a pathology with Trump and his friends. If Obama had advised people not to run with scissors, Trump would probably spend half the day sprinting through the corridors of the White House with a pair in each hand.
It’s also something that the CDC is probably accustomed to dealing with. ‘Evidence-based’ was a dirty word under the Bush administration too (although they never went so far as to outlaw it). People who report to governments or lobby them on behalf of vulnerable (ooops) groups have a whole lexicon of alternate phrases that they can use to avoid triggering instant rejections from political apparatchiks.

I’m really hoping that someone is able to spoof an email to Trump telling him about the regulations about shooting yourself in the head that Obama enacted.

If it didn’t promote laughter, it’s not The Onion (notwithstanding laughter born of hysteria).

I doubt that Trump himself had anything to do with this. Most of those words are too hard for his decaying brain to comprehend.
So, what asshole appointee from which administration power center did make this request? I’d really like to know which clammy-pawed weasel was responsible.
If there really was a “deep state” of sinister civil servants, the creep responsible would be found dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft on Monday morning.
