“It will be strictly nonpolitical and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed. None of that's going to be allowed,” Trump added in his video announcement.
We spend more money on higher education than any other country, and yet they’re turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions. We can’t let this happen. It’s time to offer something dramatically different. Under the plan I’m announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining and suing excessively large private university endowments.
His plan is to use the government to literally steal money from private educational institutions that he doesn't like to create an indoctrination center.
He's just screaming "I'm going to do fascism" at the top of his lungs at this point. Can't wait to see how the media normalizes it.
I'm sure this will be just as successful as his first Trump University. I look forward to the future headlines where his new university is shutting down. If it even gets to that stage and doesn't leave the "give me money and I totally promise I'll use it for that and not for my own enrichment" stage.
Getting strong “I’m not a fascist! YOU’RE fascist!” vibes. Trump: Agenda of a dictator, plans of a somewhat articulate chimpanzee, and arguments of a five year old.

A 'public' university, with public money going to him? But we already have TV, 4chan, wrestling, religion to lower the national IQ ... #fascism#deporttrump
Does he mean stricly the Islamist holy war as extremists define it, or the concept of holy struggle as defined by the Quarn? Or is he going to ban ALL of the holy wars on campus? (I'm not naive enough to not think that this isn't a dogwhistle to the christian right)
That's what's always baffled me about him. He's so goddamn vain, he has to have his name directly attached to everything, and PROMINENTLY. He could peddle all the influence he wants and have a more effective, wider reach if he'd just do everything through shell companies and "affiliates," but everything has to be about stroking his tiny ego. I guess, in a way, it's a good thing for everyone else, because you can tell from the get-go to avoid at all costs.
Consequently, the greater the sphere of public as opposed to private education, the greater the scope and intensity of conflict in social life. For if one agency is going to make the decision: sex education or no, traditional or progressive, integrated or segregated, etc., then it becomes particularly important to gain control of the government and to prevent one’s adversaries from taking power themselves. Hence, in education as well as in all other activities, the more that government decisions replace private decision-making, the more various groups will be at each others’ throats in a desperate race to see to it that the one and only decision in each vital area goes its own way.
