I get the impression that Trump will back down on China, as he will on a lot of things once he's sitting in the hot seat. He strikes me as the classic bully-- brash and obnoxious until someone gets in his face, then he suddenly wants to be friends. Or at least that's what I hope happens because there are a few hills that he can choose to die on that would fuck us over big time.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
