Trump bans international students from enrolling at Harvard

It is more fun criticizing

In his latest move, Pres DT has banned international students from enrolling at Harvard.

Is this related to his previous conflict with Harvard?

Is this directed towards Chinese, or the daughter of Xi?

Why is DT micromanaging even the educational system?

Is this good for America?  Is this good for the world?

Wont there a backlash from the academic community, and/or influential Harvard grads

Losers in the Trade Wars - 80 million lost jobs manufacturing and transport

It is more fun criticizing

US will surely end triumphant in this trade war;   Trump wants to assert US supremacy through MAGA.  But millions will lose jobs in China, not to mention exporters going bankrupt.   Globalization would have been pushed back by decades.   

But of course everythng depends on Xi.  While other countries are going to negotiate with US, Xi has slapped 120% tariff vs US.  We wonder whether its good for China.

Do the guys in Manila and the oligarchs understand what Pres DU30 is trying to do?

Do the guys, the leaders in Manila the seat of power understand what the President from Mindanao is trying to do.  Many of the things do not seem to rhyme.   He attacks US, he sides with China, then reverses himself and pushes through with the deal, sides with the Reds and then allow Marcos burial?

Well, the Pres who very much politically adroit as all politicians should, believe that politics should be addition and as much as possible would like to bring all sectors of the govt, the left the right, the center to be together.  He sides with the police wooes them, he visits the military in their camps, breaks protocol and allows Misuari to speak at the Pres. podium.   He is practicing inclusiveness to the hilt.

At the international scene:

1.  He is trying defuse tension between China and PHL (he knows that in case of a shooting war, we cant defend ourselves let alone US defend us -  US is heavily indebted to China and very much dependent on China for its supplies

2.  He tries to attend international conferences and try to get economic alliances to bring in more investments and export opportunities which were not available or visible  when we continued to be under the wings of US.  How much trade did we gain from China visit and conversation with Russian Pres. V Putin.  

There is some coherence in his actions and not crazy as some think

It is not true that the Pres is only drug focused from the above.
