YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump’s administration is moving to rewrite reality — starting with science and now the U.S. Census.
First, Energy Secretary Chris Wright is reworking past national climate assessments, undermining years of peer-reviewed research to fit political talking points. These reports, created by the world’s top scientists, are the backbone of U.S. climate policy — and rewriting them could have devastating consequences for the planet.
Next, Trump is pushing for a 2030 census that excludes undocumented immigrants, defying the Constitution’s clear mandate to count everyone. This change could reshape congressional representation, redirect billions in federal funding, and weaken democratic checks on presidential power.
Dr. Allan Lichtman explains how these moves follow the authoritarian playbook: control the facts, control the future. From Orwell’s 1984 to modern-day strongmen, rewriting the truth is the first step toward rewriting the rules.
