According to a friend of mine who is a full professor of Computer Science, other countries see the destruction of the NSF and the authoritarian takeover of the US as a once in a lifetime opportunity to improve the science in their countries by attracting scientific talent.
And why not, only a moron who did not know the history of this country during and since WW2 would try to destroy the NSF and the NIH.
There are several theories here. One is that the orange moron really does want to destroy America. There are some variations on the theory that he just does not know what he is doing and thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Why is the right so anti-intellectual?
