Hard to imagine that it wouldn't have something to do with him. It might not be a directive straight from the man himself, but clearly from whoever he put in charge.

Funny he left adultery, philandering and infidelity off the list.
If there ain't a word for it, he can't be guilty of it . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't think it's infidelity if Melania doesn't give a fuck. One less time trump is going to fuck her.

CDC and FDA are both under HHS. FDA has said that it received no such guidance.
"Hard to imagine" and an unnamed policy analyst aren't terribly convincing.

I mean, the lady who runs the CDC is a Georgia Republican who used to hustle anti-aging medicine. She didn't even do well at her job in Georgia. Hard to imagine that she'd have that job in another administration. You are right that "Trump orders CDC to..." is a bit misleading. But at the same time he could totally order them not to do that, and he's responsible for his appointments.
Washington Post is all about their stupid clickbait titles.

According to this report from NBC, it was a staff level meeting where the words were not going to be included in the budget. Probably with Trump in mind; he most likely mentally translates the word "vulnerable" to "loser" when he hears it.

Um . . .
no. You missed the point.
Trump's Jesus approved Bible wife is Ivanka. All the other wives and women are evidence of his continuing adulteries.

It's still infidelity even if the person does not care
And of course the Trump warriors storm in to defend their dear leader .

You're usually reasonable. I doubt you think that Trump is supposed to know and pre-approve every action of every appointee.

They're apparently giving the people what they want.
The funny thing is that the CDC is just doing the same.

CDC has to play politics, just like any governmental agency. Right now, people in power are a bunch of ideologically motivated morons, so those in charge of CDC know, that using trigger words and mentioning science stuff in official documents will most likely result in lost funding for projects in question.
