Duming down Merica

"On the fourth floor of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the staff of the White House chief technology officer has been virtually deleted, down from 24 members before the election to, by Friday, only one.

Scores of departures by scientists and Silicon Valley technology experts who advised President Trump’s predecessor have all but wiped out the larger White House Office of Science and Technology Policy."


More on how science/technology is being treated in the know-nothing Trump White House:

Instead, it's more likely that Trump doesn't trust anyone who has the ability to detect his and his staff's online shenanigans. He doesn't want techies hanging around snooping into his communications.

They lost the apostrophe ('merica) after bush, and it became capitalized after that chowderhead brought a snowball to the senate floor (Merica), and they lost their "i" privileges after Trump.
