Shitstain's Top-Ranking Science Advisor Is 31 Years Old And Has A BA In Political Science

[hatrack]

Donald Trump still does not have a White House science advisor, doubling the record any president has gone without one. President George W Bush had gone without a science chief for nine months and four days into his presidency. Mr Trump has been in office nearly 18 months.

The position has been a fixture in the White House since the administration of Dwight D Eisenhower. Science advisors have often guided presidents on disease outbreaks, natural disasters, climate change, public health scares, and even brief leaders on biological warfare and weaponry. The last person to hold the position was John Holdren who also helped form President Barack Obama's climate change politics like entering the Paris Agreement and was chosen for the position even before Mr Obama entered office.

EDIT

That office, under Mr Holdren, once had 135 staff members but has currently been dramatically pared down to just 45 employees with still no chief. Mr Holdren once told CBS News that Mr Trump "is a science and technology talent repellent".

EDIT

Advisors in the past have all held doctorate degrees in a science, technology, or engineering field and had decades of science policy and research experience under their belt before walking into the White House. Currently, the highest ranking official in the OSTP is deputy assistant Michael Kratsios, 31, who holds a bachelor’s degree in politics.

1. A BA in poly-sci???

And the Republicans wonder why their base is becoming older, whiter and stupider by the second?

2. This is not surprising or shocking.

They don't believe in science.

God will take care of everything.

They have plenty of praying and bible studies in the White House to address all pertinent issues.


Their god promotes:


adultery

multiple marriages

sex with porn stars

kidnapping of children

lying

stealing from the poor and giving to the rich

bailouts for the rich

state media

rigged elections

treason


You can relax.

They have it all under control !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Surprised! I'm not.

First, the Dotard is not capable of understanding higher level science, and he knows it. He has to look good to his base and they don't understand science either, even though Science is around them every day. So, scientists are kept away to keep the Dotard from looking stupid. Trump's concept of science probably doesn't go much beyond knowing water boils when you get it hot enough.
