NASA is arguably the most successful part of US soft power diplomacy.

Not just thanks to flying humans to orbit & on to the Moon: its achievements in exploring the solar system & wider universe, & monitoring Earth & our environment are legion & admired worldwide.

So, if true, rumours predicting huge cuts to NASA science & gutting HQ would be a monumental act of sabotage only to primp the ego of one ignorant narcissist & to place US space ambitions narrowly & privately in the hands of another.
