He is not doing that and has even gone so far as to undercut sector specialists in any number of scientifically forward government bodies.
Is the concern then that Trump will be able to manipulate the data, the regulatory bodies, the journals, the double blinded studies, the pharmaceutical companies, and the thousands of specialists who can analyze the trials independently? Or is the concern that he might say something dumb on twitter?

People are highly clouded by their emotional response to Trump and they become unscientific because of it.
