Comment on Opinion: China’s ‘Engineer Dividend’ Is Paying Off Big Time

What Trump is achieving is making China great again. It’s certainly a leap forward. This is all so idiotic … we’re actively ceding leadership in industry to other countries, discouraging the best and brightest from coming here to study in the first place – and don’t even get me started on Intel.
We’re seeing an engineered collapse. To what end is unclear.
And don’t come at me with “christofascist”; that’s a problem, but tanking the economy and our standing as the premier country to study and do advanced R&D isn’t that. I don’t know what it is and have a few thoughts, but I’m unqualified to try to untangle why Trump’s handlers are doing this, and I generally don’t like to spout off without evidence.

Trump’s handler is Putin, and there’s plenty of evidence.

Putin is far from the only one. But again, as a journalist, I prefer not to speculate. This is very much “I know it when I see it” … it’s just unclear what “it” is.
