Trump and the Deckine of American Innovation

It appears as if President Trump is intent on reducing American innovation and scientific achievement, playing into China and Russia’s hands. Many of his policy moves make no sense at all in terms of advancing the nation’s scientific and military prowess. Trump and his supporters do not seem to believe in science and scientific expertise. His administration appears to be filled with Luddites who don’t understand the need for scientific innovation to keep America ahead of other nations in technology, military and commercial applications.
