It often starts with censorship, and restrictions for the free press and internet. When a government denies the effects of human behavior on the environment, "it's a hoax", and starts defunding Scientific research and adjusts website information about Environment Protection in line with that mindset, doesn't that look like the beginning of censorship? Maybe changing the name of the EPA, replacing the 'Protection' part with something more fitting would be more honest?
You're welcome. The tulips were probably those in the Keukenhof. Yes, KLM, Air France, and Delta are affiliated.

The President can do very little without Congress which provides funding for all sorts of things including the EPA. If the Congress cuts or increases funding for the EPA, the military, healthcare, etc., then that's the will of the people and part of democracy. The President can't do that on his own. There's nothing in the constitution that says we have to even have an EPA.
The EPA's website has nothing to do with free press or the internet. Regarding specific web pages for the EPA, the Army, Treasury, etc, these fall under the executive, the president, to run. He appoints the secretaries to these agencies who follow his policies. Every president biases the presentations in their web pages as well as how the agencies operate to reflect his policy positions. That's part of winning the election. These were the positions he took during the campaign, and he won. Obama did that before Trump and someone else will do it differently after Trump. But his term is limited to 4 years, 8 if the people re-elect him. But these things are minor in any case. 90% of the media is against Trump and bias their news accordingly. Certainly nothing like what Erdogan did and is doing like changing who are Turkey's chief justices, taking over newspapers and jailing people who disagree with him. Erdogan is getting set to extend his already long tenure to another 12 maybe 16 years. With unilateral rule. Now that's a dictator. That's real censorship.
