#Australians & other world citizens are not merely declining to visit the #UnitedStates. We have started to cease to imagine it.

#America isn’t doing facts any more. Hence the defunding of science agencies & a political interference in education & research they are imposing on researchers beyond their borders.

Australian universities are having projects defunded “because they don’t fit with #Trumps authoritarian rightwing agenda”.

The Guardian · America used to fire the world’s imagination – but now the cultural conversation is being silencedBy Van Badham

Apparently, there's a flipside to #Trumps #tarrifs , and it too looks to be economically bad.

The no.1 US trucking company - J.B.Hunt Transport Services - sees a drop in shipping orders from customers.

If customers balk at ordering new shipments when the across-the-board 10% tarrif are in place, what happens when they all go up to their unpaused levels? What if wholesalers don't want to buy goods at extortion prices? Empty shelves?
