Looking over the application, the science claims are wildly overblown. Claims of CRISPR making DNA sequencing free, having a 100% cure rate for cancer, eliminating the need for antibiotics are just on their face flat wrong. It seems they misunderstand what CRISPR is (a highly specific DNA nuclease), and how it can be used in the context of a larger organism.

CRISPR is a huge, important advance, it's not the cure-all to all of biology's real and imagined ills.

Not sure how the political thing is relevant in that context. This election season has been extraordinarily acrimonious, and I'll go on the record that I find Trump's views abhorrent. That said, at some point we're going to have to figure out how to talk about politics in a civil manner, because otherwise the whole situation is going to get even worse.
