US President Donald Trump pulls against knowledge -based professions – for academics, lawyers, journalists, consultants, scientists and civil servants have had bad times. Trump’s vision of America’s restoration is to return to traditional jobs in production, extraction and construction.
The White House chief is struggling against universities, which he considers to be ideologically hostile, limits the funding of scientists, the stopwatch has many research, and tens of thousands of federal employees have lost their jobs, including those who process data necessary for public health or economy. He went to the penalties of important media houses and law firms. For example, Perkins Coie described as “dishonest and dangerous” as the legal representation of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign. Another large office, Wilmerhale, accused the US undermining.
These steps have a common denominator: it is an attack on professions based on the so -called. Knowledge Work – a job that requires analytical thinking, professional decision -making and creative solutions. Such a job cannot be easily Outsour or replace the machine, says Business Insider.

“The President targets class dissatisfaction with white collars,” explains Joan C. Williams, a law of law of the University of California in San Francisco. “These professions often come into contact with the working class, where there are many hidden anger – against officials, lawyers or professors.”
Employers like Elon Musk, close to Trump, contributed to a wave of dismissal in the federal report. Federal grants and consulting contracts have been cut, which affected both scientists and analysts. Meanwhile, the White House has banned access to some media, including AP to press conferences – until their court decision has returned.
All this is part of a sophisticated political strategy, according to experts. D. Trump puts on traditional distrust of Americans towards the elites and makes them an enemy’s image. Political scientist Daniel Dreamner of Tufts University pointed out: “If I should build a plan to weaken groups that are politically hostile to me, he would look like this.”

The President of the European Commission Ursula von Der Leyen sharply criticized D. Trump’s policy towards American universities and introduced a new European program to attract scientists from around the world, including the US. “The role of science is questioned today. Investments in fundamental, free and open research are questioned. It is a gigantic mistake,” She announced during a speech at Paris Sorbonne. “Science has no passport, gender, ethnicity or political affiliation.”
Together with French President Emmanuel Macron, she presented the “Choose Europe for Science” initiative, which will redistribute EUR 500 million between 2025 to 2027 to support the most talented scientists from Europe and outside. At the same time, Macron promised another € 100 million from the France 2030 program. “A permanent democracy cannot exist without free and open science,” he said.
