What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Minsky Moment]

I'm the guy who says it's fine when there's turbulence. someone who supports vaccinations but is cautious is now chairing a commission. allegedly, both care about the science. if the science is conclusive, then what's the result going to be?\

Is this a joke?
RFK Jr. compared childhood vaccination to the Holocaust.  He is not "cautious" he is incendiary and  stark raving on the subject.
Neither he nor Trump evince any respect for, or even basic understanding of, science and the scientific method.
At this point even the most gross naiveté could not justify thinking that Trump would respect a scientific conclusion if it went against what he wanted to do.

Let's all just not think about what's going to happen in a week and a half and enjoy the last few days of the Obama presidency.  I can't decide which watch party I want to attend for his farewell address tonight.

And by the way, I still have some Obama plates available...

Do they have Trump plates? Or is that just an Obama thing?

You really don't do smug well at all.

Go get some pointers from Xiacob or the other Canadians.  That's professional smugness for you.

none of that was in the article as posted

I agree that's not cautious. but, if the commission considers the scientific evidence, and I don't see how it could disregard the evidence and be credible, then what's the harm? there's clearly no link between vaccination and autism, and apparently there's little to no science suggesting thiomersal vaccinations are harmful. so, the commission either releases a non-credible report that's attacked, or it releases a credible report

(edit) overlooked your last sentence. agree that if trump really wants to rage against vaccinations, he'd do that regardless of the evidence. I'm not sure he really wants to do that -- he might honestly want to figure it out what's the deal with these allegations that he has probably never really looked into. so, he chooses an outsider to chair the commission. but the evidence is out there regardless of who chairs the commission.

The nouveau smug are so crass.

On Mr. Kennedy:

But more recently Mr Kennedy has devoted his time to the issue of vaccines, writing a book and producing a documentary on the subject.

"They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone," Mr Kennedy said at one screening in 2015 in California.

"This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country."

He later apologised for the comment.

Maybe he will consider the scientific evidence and reach a different conclusion. It is possible. There's probably no need to worry.

I mean, it's probably very unlikely that an un-credible report will be used as a basis for some sort of action... right?

[The Minsky Moment]

If they RFK considered the scientific evidence, he wouldn't have taken the positions he's taken and said the things he's said.
If Trump considered the scientific evidence, he wouldn't have made his comments on the subject, nor would we have appointed RFK Jr nor would he have set up a commission in the first place. 
It's blindingly obvious that this entire move is based on ignoring the scientific evidence.  So why would one expect a complete reversal of that behavior now?

it's possible that'll happen here, sure. but I'm less inclined to think a presidential commission will release a report that reads like an alex jones blog post, or whatever the feared outcome

You wouldn't think because it hasn't been done before. But hasn't been done before so far has not proven to be any obstacle to Trump's antics.
