The report also seems not to realize that it is being written by the Trump administration.

There are a few delightful digs like this in this article.

The only thing that's golden is the tacky veneer on the White House walls in the picture.

you should see his trump tower rooms its worst.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wasn’t even written by Beth Mole either lol

[–] Naich@piefed.world 37 points 1 month ago

What? By dying?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Trump's understanding of science is on a par with that of Flat Earth and Hollow Earth believers. It's hard to foster what you don't understand.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 4 weeks ago

hollow earth is where all the kaiju come form.

[–] uuj8za@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

That's probably what the mean... :(

Golden Age of Science (according to Republicans): Flat Earth, Lizard People, Bigfoot, Aliens

The Golden Age will begin once the Orange Era concludes.

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What, he's going to find out the youngest age a girl can get pregnant?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

This has been known for all of human history it's around 13

[–] GutterRat42@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Pregnant at 4, birth at 5 years old, 7months, 21 days. Youngest pregnancy ever confirmed.

I would like to punch somebody really hard on the face right now. I need a drink. At no point in history should that have ever happened. I feel sick.

Precocious puberty and sexual abuse. They never found out the identity of the father.

Soooo, he's going to use tax payer dollars to fund Christian science reading rooms across the nation?

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Do they even know how science works?

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Science is now illegal for all except military.

...by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

This coming from the same guy who was confused about what happens with magnets just a few months ago and now he tells people in order to make money you "do magnets".

A real golden shower of wisdom from that bag.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Miserable fucking sycophants. He's actually ushering in a dark age worse than the one that followed the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 weeks ago

By driving science away to places it can thrive

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago

That Orange Pedo love’s ignorance not science.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Only if the word is redefined to mean "shitting your diaper and lying about it".

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is just a euphemism for alchemy isn't it. He's going to dump billions of taxpayer dollars into a quest to turn lead into gold.

Ha, ha, ha

What, they're seriously believing Trump and "science" belong on the same page together?!?

They don't mean "Golden age of science" as a time when lots of awesome and important science gets done. He fired all the scientists. But he IS having the plain black ink in science printers replaced with a sparkly gold ink, so all of the bad science will look way more shiny and golden.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah bleach injections for covid you don't want these leaded gasoline enthusiasts around any scale.

Donald Trump says Donald Trump is a pretty cool guy

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

Sadly he is an old man who won’t die soon enough.

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

We'll reach new heights in astrology and horoscopes. Tea leaves will hold no more secrets and we'll become a major exporter in rabbit feet! /s

Trump: A golden science of deals. Lesson 1. You pay me and I won't hurt you much...

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 weeks ago

All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets

- Golden Scientist Trump

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

“Can”, not “will”. A subtle but important distinction.

[–] mysticalone@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Golden age of ignorant people.

By dying maybe

In other old news: the sugar industry says "sugar isnt dangerouse and too much sugar doesnt exist" (yes this is actually a statement of the sugar industry)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

he would likely die bathing in water filled with gold particles.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Drinking molten gold would be more suited to his crimes.

Defunding is not how, but he is the stupidest person to ever hold the office, so expecting him to know better is a recipe for disappointment.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wait, this isn't the Onion?

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Golden like piss

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

can usher in new gold in age of science?

i think they've been doing that already. and lining their pockets with it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 4 weeks ago

I'm sure he could, but it would be in Europe away from him and his science denying flat earth believing pals.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

You mean the Trump that's responsible for the brain drain in the US because he declared war on science and scientists? The guy that hired conspiracy theorists and fox News anchors for high regime positions and a health minister who's into roadkill penisses, brain worms and swimming in feces while claiming paracetamol causes autism and vaccinations are bad?

Yeah, I bet he'll be the inventor of the Idiocracy time machine. Unless that ride requires magnets.
