The protests mark this years East Day celebrations. This is a partial statement issued by Trump. 

"Rigorous science is critical to my Administrations efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection. My Administration is committed to advancing scientific research that leads to a better understanding of our environment and of environmental risks."

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Trump’s head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt, announced the other day that he would not follow the recommendation of the agency’s own scientists to ban the use of chlorpyrifos, an insecticide that has been linked to severe health consequences, particularly in children and farmworkers.

That is only one example of the deception and lies of this administration and a clear example of how they disregard scientific evidence.
