Not sure how bad it could get for science under Trump? You only have to look north of the border.

I was reporting on this as it happened back then here in this blog. This is well worth reading. From Hakai. Erica Gies reports.
During the 10-year term of Canadian Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, some government scientists were unable to publish their research or talk to the public without minders; research was defunded or blocked; and invaluable data archives dating back a century were destroyed in acts dubbed “libricide.” Reports were literally tossed into dumpsters.
