According to this report, President Trump is waging a war on experts:

I have two observations about this claim:
1. Trump is wholly within his constitutionally granted powers to do so. He is the nation's chief diplomat. The cabinet and civil servants are there to advise him, not to overrule and sabotage his decisions.
2. The powers that be have been waging a war on experts for decades. That is part and parcel of the move to push older people out of their jobs and to replace them with younger people who are experts at nothing. This has been done under the banner of "change is good". Most of our problems as a nation, especially with our economy, have occurred alongside (and perhaps because of) this trend.
