Is there some benefit here for Trump voters?

I don't see it.

But then again, I don't see how a trade war against the world is going to "Make America Great Again" either. It is much more likely to do the opposite.

They get to punish woke science. That's about how much thought they put it into. There's no 5-dimensional chess at play.

Imagine how all the chemists who study cis/trans isomerization feel right now ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism

As someone who studied an cis/trans isomerase decades ago in grad school, I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but not completely.
