I too noticed both of those. I have to keep reminding myself that he's a politician but if he manages to fix even a fourth of his list, I will be happy.
One of my favorites: "We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age."
I work for a company that writes software for state transportation departments. The data is alarming. My company could use the money. There was a bunch of cheering at the lunch time crowd watching the tv.
I am so sick of science being ignored, hidden or banished.
I went nuts over "non-believers" because I consider myself a humanist. I also question whether he is truly religious. He was raised atheist like me. I find the concept of believing in an imaginary friend difficult. If you are raised without faith, how do you find it? I am sure he did it for political reasons and family. I can see believing it but I do see issues with believing unquestionably. I'm not him and it seems to work for him. He just looks a little Buddhist in his prayers.
