Making it harder for people to come to America; drying up public resources to deal with national challenges; reducing enviro regulations; disempowering workers; doing nothing on guns, opioids, climate change. Anyone who thinks a country that does will remain great is wrong
... a lot of people who write about politics haven't grappled with the fact that America is in serious decline. Our life expectancy is falling; our health is worsening; our education system is failing; our infrastructure is crumbling; our businesses are less innovative
... lot of folks are going to wake up in a few years and wonder why America is no longer an economic power & why we've lost our global influence. Barring some magical political change America's best days are increasingly in the past. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.
.... the travel ban is bad because its bigotry as public policy. But it will have a serious economic effect. Fewer tourists will want to come here; fewer students & entrepreneurs will want to study and work here. It will have significant reputational costs. More American decline
