The Nazis threw out Jewish scientists (many of whom then fled to the US), and paid a very heavy price for it.
Today it looks like trump will make the same ideologically racist mistake but with Chinese scientists who had opted to live in the US.

Absolutely - this is what I was going to post here too.
It's a constant failure of "science" journalists at media outlets, like @theguardian.com, to write articles based on the most up-to-date peer-reviewed science.
Instead they regularly mislead readers with inaccurate information, eroding trust.

It now seems pretty clear to anyone following this - Farage held extreme racist/ antisemitic views then, and is now lying in a poor attempt at dodging accountability.
His failure to take legal action suggests he knows his legal history (e.g. consequences of Oscar Wilde's failed defamation claim).

Claiming something to be true when it clearly isn’t (trump administration is illegitimate) only diminishes the credibility of the opposition.
Focus on what is true - his unconstitutional misuse of the Presidency for his own personal gain & malevolent retribution.

Seriously?
Whatever your views on trump (mine are far from positive) he was democratically elected (with support of >50% of the electorate), so his administration is far from illegitimate.
But the actions of his administration are frequently illegal and must be refuted in the courts. #RuleOfLaw
