Maybe I miss something here, but:

Someone replied to "The public position of the Republican Party is that climate change is a myth" with a link to their web platform stating something different.

I think it's not really fair to counter that by quoting Trump and closing with the assumption of bad faith.

All the statement says is that climate change is not an issue, and that any discussion of it must be guided by data: there is no acknowledgment of the reality of climate change.

On the other hand, all of the Republican leadership cast doubt on it. And as a result the large majority of Republican voters reject the idea of anthropogenic climate change.

I assure you that what comes out of Trumps mouth represents the average Republican voter far better than some policy statement on a webpage.
