I agree 100% with Thiel, but Trump is not remotely the right messenger for this message and Thiel is making a huge mistake supporting him as such. If ever there was an appropriate time for "shoot the messenger" this is it, lest Trump taint the entire message. Additionally it's not even clear Trump fully understands the problem Thiel cares about, but may just be exploiting a political opportunity with just enough rhetoric picked up from alt-right forums and publications to get the job done, rather than any substantial understanding of or personal commitment to it. It's a great shame that two of the most eloquent and legitimate people trying in recent times to publicly address these fundamental problems - Thiel and Andy Grove [1] - are foreign born, hence not eligible to run for President. But they should be archetype candidate and messenger for this message.
