    I’m now in China which ranks 15 of world top universities as US and none Chinese. They can’t believe Congress plans to tax and damage this advantage. Maybe we are not a smart power after all.

    #Bannon formally appointed to NSC. Why not informal like past?Caligula made his horse a senator. Why? To show disdain for institutions.

    History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes. Caligula turned his horse into a senator. Trump has turned his senators into asses.

    Trump has been a disaster for American soft power. A gift to ISIL.
