Watch this video clip below and listen very carefully to what the new POTUS is saying.
So what’s Trump’s plan then ?!
America will lure the crème de la creme of human talent from everywhere else in the world and leave nations impoverished of its best and brightest intellectual capital ?
And if America is in such desperate need and want of “high quality” human capital, isn’t Trump thus admitting tacitly that his country is so backward and so demographically decrepit that it cannot by itself turn out top quality human talent from within ?!
Is the American academia and education system so badly broken and inadequate that the nation has perforce go hunting around the rest of the world, luring and ensnaring young well-educated workers with the glamorous mirage so-called as the “great American Dream” to come in and prop the American enterprise and nation up ?
The Trump Plan thus it seems to me is to get the rest of the most educated nations of the world — like China, India and others — to subsidise America’s own higher-education system .
