Fortunately, Donald Trump is failing at everything, but today we saw a glimpse of what kind of governing he would have liked to engage in if he had been given free reign. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, was instructed not to use certain words in their budget preparation documents for 2019. Forbidden words include "evidence-based”, “science-based", “transgender”, “fetus”, "diversity”, “vulnerable", and “entitlement".
Yes, seriously. Those words and phrases are not allowed in CDC documents.
Forbidding the use of certain words is a thought police thing: suppressing ideas by preventing their discussion. No democracy should ever engage in that kind of authoritarian exercises. Donald Trump's illegitimate presidency needs to be terminated now.
