And it's really, really actively fighting against it: electing Trump (and the consequences with it) is not the least they did in that perspective.

I don't think it's a conscious choice, I think that since the US has been a magnet for talent for so long, a lot of politicians, and a lot of people, have normalized it and think it's the natural order of things. They think that talent will keep coming, no matter what policies they implement, and that is simply not true.
