The United States ranks way diown there in 28th place on global Internet speed. Americans just aren't competitive at fast connections, chess playing and trading or bidding on the world stage. President Trump should try to get a border security wall built plainly, yet building good Internet connections for ordinary Americans is necessary for democracy to be in the competition.

I tried an Internet speed test from mid-America and found that the Internet speed is fastest via Moscow, then Hong Kong and Amsterdam with Seattle and San Francisco brinbg up the rear. One should not need to rely on Moscow for fat Internet speed.
In the 1980s I sent an email via bitnet to the Ecole Normale or Superior or whatever from Alaska and got a rely in a week or ten days. America used to be up there in global Internet speed, yet it hasn't got that much better. President Trump; make American Internet speed great again, for us all.
