Maybe you should do a little research before you accuse people of “making stuff up.”  Clovis is unqualified and his appointment is illegal.  By law, the appointment must be made from among "distinguished scientists with specialized or significant experience in agricultural research, education and economics.”   Clovis is not a scientist and his only “qualification” is that he’s a conservative ideologue who believes in “alternative facts” that support Trump’s political agenda.
