There's a term for those words: exosemantic gang signs. Trump is attempting to metaphorically ban Crip colours. These words are predominantly used by communists for communist ends.

You’ve been misled. Those words were decided by left-leaning people at a meeting in order to better “appeal to their audience.” The republican congress. This has nothing to do with Trump.

I believe these banned words were introduced by liberals in the CDC to avoid triggering conservatives. I don't remember where I read that though.

Case of misreporting. Career CDC people were instructing employees with their perception of what it took to get a budget item approved. These career CDC people, not Trump appointees, thought that not mentioning these words gave them a better shot

Not an administration move, a career bureaucrat move to work the system (as they perceived it) get the funding they wanted.
