It's crazy the science funding was cut so much, but I wonder if even after the cuts it might still be better than what we have here in Europe.

There's been a Europe -> USA brain drain for decades due to the better funding, salaries etc. they can get there.

There was a lot of talk last year about Europe creating funds to attract US researchers burned by these cuts - I haven't heard much about that recently, but if it worked it could potentially have created/started a reverse brain-drain.
