About 1 in 3 US Nobel prize winners are immigrants.
About 1 in 4 were government employees at some point.
About 44% of all Nobel prize winners were educated in US higher education.
As Trump demands a Nobel prize, he is destroying the means by which America came to dominate the prizes.

Two things of note in today's announcement of the 2025 Nobel physics prize (besides the work being honored).

1: The US institutional dominance of the prize continues.
2: 2 of the three laureates are immigrants, drawn here decades ago by the then-unmatched opportunities for science here...

When they complain about DEI ask why they hate America.

Diversity - America is the melting pot of the world.

Equity - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

Inclusion - e pluribus unum, out of many, one; not out of some, one.
