It's crazy to me how the US are shooting themselves in the feet with Trump. In a scorched earth policy. You might agree or not with the way top universities are run, but withdrawing their funding will just result in killing your own world renowned education centers. So in the end you will just have uneducated morons, with the state of mind of Elon Musk, and we will reach the state of Idiocracy faster than anticipated!
