The editorial complains that Trump's view seems to be "Screw you, world. America First."

Hello?

I do not see a difference there with Canada's approach. "Screw you, world. Canada first".

I am pretty sure that the poorer parts of Africa, Asia and Europe actually liked having the millions of well-educated people who used to live there but who Canada vacuumed up in our grab-fest for smart brains overseas.

That is how our immigration system functions. We love doctors and nurses from South Africa, we love engineers and chemists from India, we love mathematicians and computer scientists from Egypt, Iran and Slovenia. We have vacuumed up the brightest brains, through intentional and official policy, for decades. 

Screw you, South Africa. Screw you, Iran. Screw you, India. We will vacuum up your best educated. And screw you, China, we will vacuum up your wealthiest millionaires and leave your poorest behind to choke on air pollution there.

Trump is Canada and Canada is Trump.
