    Indeed this was expected.

    It is a shame the whole world will have to suffer because "the greatest democracy" elected a terrible person who hate facts and reality.

    Thanks USA.

    No. Sadness. We all saw it coming, but a few don't care or aren't willing to see because... well, because.. well.

    Can't have those agencies releasing facts to the public. Only administration officials can function as arbiters of the truth. Authoritarianism 101.

    Oppression of information and the media.
    Deny science.
    Lie until lies are accepted as facts.
    Control the propaganda.

    I'm willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt but most of his actions so far are questionable at best.

    IIRC didn't the epa and some other agencies make hardcopy of their data because they were afraid Trump would have it destroyed?

    They do not have shredder at EPA?, Wouldn't it be much easier to copy the data and save them on usb chips or external hard dirves and hide them?

    He is a liar - this won't work.

    The Press and everyone else will make him the most hated man in America.

    He was the most hated man in America in November. Still won the election.

    Trump is trying to blow up his administration far faster than I thought he would

    Secrecy is one of Trump's favorite weapons. The tools of a paranoid maniac.
