Donald Trump's brain drain

I pretty much agree, with this post although I have seen "brain drain" applied to the loss of foreign academics post brexit vote in the UK, so I have no problem with Ellimists definition.

Well, it's how you look at it.

I guess the most accurate way to describe a "brain drain" is any condition wherein your country of origin suffers via the loss of qualified and intelligent individuals. Essentially, if it hurts us, it's bad (even if it's good for others).

Although I would always support be 100% supporting of my countrymen who leave their home to try and find a better life elsewhere. Even if it hurts our country to lose our intelligent/qualified individuals, they deserve to do to what is best for themselves and their families.

Ellimist has a good point, a lot of research done at Universities is done by foreign students, MIT and Caltech attract the most brilliant minds worldwide, like one of my own Universities Kings College, University of London. The research they do draws corporate funding and the patented work and papers which often belong to the University, and the funders lead to Industry making money, the University making money and often a nation, and sometimes several countries making money. Brexit will almost certainly have a similar effect on UK research (it already has) to Trump. The thing is in Europe the UK stands alone as a University powerhouse. So when the UK fails the foreign students may go to China, I see the Chinese doing well out of this.

How can he have a good point if he's just some inexperienced 'kid' as you say? He can't be trusted. He needs to be 45 years old with cracking joins and a beer belly before he can make good points.
