    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.

      Well yeah, he’s already named undesirables that he’s going to get rid of. I am shocked to see him advocating a wealth tax of any sort though

        It’s not a wealth tax, it’s an education tax. Donald “I love the poorly educated” Trump.

      He’s running out of ideas. It’ll be a shit show if he makes it on the ballot.

    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.

      He says it’s going to be free. Which means there’s a big old catch.

          That or he’s trying to find a group of easily indoctrinated morons to replace the Proud Boys and such like.

          Turns out they couldn’t get the job done last time.

        It’s free - but ofc priority for admission is given to his most loyal supporters (IE the ones who donate to his shit the most)

        It looks like he’s going to tax respected institutions to get it. Like I’m no fan of the ivies, but this is lunacy.

    Is there no “you need to be at least this smart to start a university” in the US? The threshhold can’t be that low that Trump does actually qualify.

      Funnily enough no. Starting a university is even more permissible than getting a gun here. Though he’d never get accredited

      Anyone can create a school. There’s a school for nazis (as per John Oliver).

        (I think? Best I could find is his discussion on homeschooling being widely open to nazi teachings, not necessarily a literal school for nazis)

    Why are all the unhinged gun owners shooting up random public places but this guy is still alive?
