Bill Nye Blasts 'Confused' Trump Administration for Not Advocating For Science, Says Leadership Has 'Lost Its Way'

Bill Nye is not holding back on his thoughts about Donald Trump’s administration, referring to them as “confused.”

Nye isn’t the only one speaking up about Trump, as the former president continues to receive backlash from several people, including Ariana Grande and Brittany Cartwright.

While others criticize Trump’s actions and statements, Adin Ross took the backlash even further, expressing regret for ever supporting his administration.

Just days after being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his role in the television series “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” Nye made it clear what he thinks about Trump’s administration.

In a conversation with People Magazine, Nye criticized the current U.S. administration for its unwillingness to adapt to scientific progress.

“We’ve got leadership right now that has lost its way,” he said. “They’re just confused.” The television presenter then went on to emphasize the consequences of neglecting science:

“This is not a new idea, but by pretending that a lot of science is not true, you’re going to be less competitive internationally, you’re not going to be as healthy, and you’re eventually sort of going to go out of business.”

Nye insisted that science isn’t new and that its process must be respected if we hope to make a positive impact on the world.

Without mincing words, he declared that he would be involved in the next U.S. election, calling it a potential turning point for the nation. He also highlighted the importance of the U.S. leading global efforts on environmental issues, describing it as key to achieving global unity.

Concluding his message, Nye declared, "So let's not do that, people. Let's respect the process of science, and let's change the world."

Nye isn’t the only one who has criticized Trump’s administration over its scientific approach. Last month, Cartwright addressed the president's comment about autism.

As reported by The Blast, Cartwright used her platform to educate the public about misinformation about autism and Tylenol.

“Autism was recorded before Tylenol was ever invented. There are many children on the spectrum who never had vaccines or whose mothers didn't take Tylenol while pregnant,” the “Queen of Bravo” wrote.

She spoke against the claim that children on the spectrum were all either vaccinated or affected by Tylenol's active ingredient, acetaminophen.

While she is thankful that awareness about autism is increasing, Cartwright criticized the government for deception. "Our children are wonderful and deserve better than misinformation by our own government," Cartwright slammed.

Cartwright’s post on X came after President Trump endorsed claims made by his Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suggesting a link between Tylenol and autism in children.

“I want to say it like it is: Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t take it,” Trump declared. “Fight like hell not to take it.”

Meanwhile, the European Medicines Agency maintains that current evidence does not show a link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and autism. The World Health Organization also stated that “the evidence remains inconsistent.”

More criticism poured in for Trump as Ariana Grande recently called out MAGA supporters, questioning whether they were any happier under his administration.

As The Blast reported, Grande didn’t hold back in a letter to MAGA supporters, highlighting the struggles still facing communities, even after 250 days of Trump’s presidency.

“Immigrants have been violently torn from their families, and communities have been destroyed,” Grande wrote. “Has your life gotten better? Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier?”

Grande concluded with a powerful question, “Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”

Fans had mixed reactions, as some criticized her for questioning their choices, claiming they were happy under Trump, while others applauded her for speaking the truth.

Streamer Adin Ross is also among those now expressing deep regret over supporting Trump’s administration.

“Can I tell you guys something? Now that I look back on it, I really, really wish I never got into politics,” Ross admitted during a livestream, confessing that he still hasn’t moved past having his name associated with Trump.

According to The Blast, Ross became politically active in 2024 when Trump ran against former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

 However, he has now firmly decided to distance himself from politics altogether.
