the article seems pretty partisan and populist. selectively chooses facts for discredit while omitting any admission of credibility. does not address the problems or issues with a proposed solution. lots of suspicion, unfair assumptions about motives, and irrelevantly keeps tieing back to the trump administration. the highly partisan angle seems to discredit arstechnica as an intelligent unpreferential information source for productive discussion.

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.
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
This reads like a North Korean headline
The golden age of "who knows what's happening"
so back to drowning women in rivers because they float like a duck?
Golden age of ignorant people.
I'm sure he could, but it would be in Europe away from him and his science denying flat earth believing pals.
Wait, this isn't the Onion?
What, he's going to find out the youngest age a girl can get pregnant?
This has been known for all of human history it's around13
Well we'd rather forget, thank you very much, but Crump keeps reminding us
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.
Goddamn how???
Precocious puberty and sexual abuse. They never found out the identity of the father.
By driving science away to places it can thrive
Miserable fucking sycophants. He's actually ushering in a dark age worse than the one that followed the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
Ha, ha, ha
What, they're seriously believing Trump and "science" belong on the same page together?!?
Donald Trump says Donald Trump is a pretty cool guy
Sadly he is an old man who won’t die soon enough.
He could by getting all conservatives out of policy making positions, but he is too much of a bitch to do it.
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.

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)
he would likely die bathing in water filled with gold particles.
Drinking molten gold would be more suited to his crimes.
Pour it down, Targaryen style.
Soooo, he's going to use tax payer dollars to fund Christian science reading rooms across the nation?
What? By dying?
By dying maybe
Can, but won't.
Also, can't.
Do they even know how science works?
Yeah. It's a guy in a white lab coat (and for them, it has to be a guy) saying whatever they want him to say.

In China?
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.
hollow earth is where all the kaiju come form.

Uh-huh
The Golden Age will begin once the Orange Era concludes.
...by leaving office
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.
No more absurd than the LLM bubble.
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.
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.
...by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?
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.
