i believe this is because american universities have access to the most resources with which to perform expensive, difficult, but rewarding research. Those resources are now being stripped away. If another country is willing to supply the necessary resources for expensive research then researchers will go there. Source - am scientist.
“Efforts launched in regions including Europe, Canada, Australia and China range from enhanced funding opportunities to new programmes dedicated to wooing scientists, many backed by tens of millions of dollars. The trend has sparked a debate about whether luring US scientists abroad is the best way to support a global research community whose leading entity is under strain — and whether other nations can compete with historically high US levels of research funding.” - Nature Article.

Europe and China have already succeeded in poaching scientists that way, so not sure why it’d make you laugh.
