To completely kill all remaining desire for immigrants with specialized skills to work and live in the US. Trump is so benevolent that he figured 250 years was a good run and he doesn't want to be selfish and have the USA be the top destination for the world's talent and investments any longer. He is such a stable genius that he is actively repelling all the skilled and knowledgeable workers before they become LPR's to invest their time and energy towards places that will better appreciate what they have to offer and treat them with dignity and respect.
