Trump blocks high tech talent?

Why has Trump blocked high tech talent from coming into America?  This is an assault on the one  remaining area of U.S. excellence - technology. Silicon Valley is shocked.  Business leaders are shocked.  U.S. technology leads the world because it attracts the world’s smartest people. 

“Putting up a ‘not welcome’ sign for engineers, executives, IT experts, doctors, nurses and other workers won’t help our country, it will hold us back,” said Thomas J. Donohue, the chief executive of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

I see three reason for This Trump idiocy:

1.  Racism.  Trump, and his closest adviser Stephen Miller, are stone cold racists.  His entire campaign is about racism - America first, foreign workers not welcome, white supremacy.   Disgusting - and stupid.

2.  Stupidity.  Trump is clearly below average intelligence. If he ever was average intelligence he has clearly devolved. Many who have worked with him have said he was a “moron”, an “idiot”, and incapable of comprehending anything complex. Keep it simple - America Good, White people Good, people of color Bad. 

3.  Putin.  He works for Putin. Putin tells him what to do. Putin is weakening America. This is just another in a long line of ways Putin has been and is weakening America. America no longer leads the world in anything. Putin is winning. 

Disgusting, as usual.
