"Strays from science." No, Goddamnit #BrokenTimes, he tells dangerous lies and endangers lives. Throw away your fucking thesaurus. Have the courage to speak truth. That would be journalism.

"Strays from science?" Donald Trump has never known anything about science, so he can't "stray" from it, though he attacks it with vigor. Why?

For starters, science strives to describe reality as accurately as possible, whereas Trump and reality have never been on speaking terms.

The fruits of hard science are frequently bad for unregulated business. The global warming crisis and cancer research, for example, are very bad for Big Oil, Big Chemical and Pharma, and Big Tobacco.

A pet strays from a leash; a cook strays from a recipe; straying from the truth is not a thing. It's a lie. Look in the mirror New York Times. You are straying, lying, committing journalistic malpractice.

@jeffjarvis What they are saying about Tylenol and Autism is exactly 100% backwards and wrong.

High fever during pregnancy is associated with Autism, which is brought down by Tylenol (acetomenophen - Trump couldn't say that word so he used the brand name Tylenol) not the other way round.

You don't want to "tough it out" on a high fever unless you want a damaged or dead baby.

@jeffjarvis - He just likes to hear himself talk. That has to be some kind of psychosis.
