The Trump Administration keeps trying to go after scientists, and being forced to retreat
As President George W. Bush said, "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me ... You can't get fooled again!"
During the his Administration, political appointees censored climate science reports from government agencies, and mostly got away with it by gagging the scientists. A survey found that nearly half of 1,600 government scientists at seven agencies ranging from NASA to the EPA had been warned against using terms like "global warming" in reports or speeches, throughout Bush's eight-year presidency.
