Trump’s “Science Purge” Playbook is Here—Straight Out of the Soviet and Germany Files!

Trump’s “Science Purge” Playbook is Here—Straight Out of the Soviet and Germany Files!

While everyone was enjoying a long weekend, Trump snuck in a little something sinister: an executive order called “Restoring Gold Standard Science” (spoiler: it’s not about actual science). 🧐

Buried in Section 7, it lets federal agencies appoint Trump-approved political hacks—not scientists—to decide which research counts as “real science” in America. If they don’t like a study, they can kill it. Retract it. Fire the researchers. Block the grants.

All this is dressed up as “quality control,” but the fine print sets impossible standards that no real study could meet—meaning any inconvenient research could be wiped from existence.

Think vaccines, LGBTQ+ health, climate change, women’s rights... the very studies the administration has already been canceling.

If this sounds familiar, it should. The Soviet Union did it. Germany did it. Political enforcers policing science, rewriting facts, and replacing truth with state propaganda. Millions died.

And now it’s creeping into the U.S., under cover of long weekends and boring-sounding executive orders.

But hey, don’t worry—Trump’s got this. He’s just making “Gold Standard Science” great again. If you’re not terrified yet, you’re not paying attention. 👀🔥
