“Too many universities and School Systems are about Radical Left indoctrination, not Education. Therefore, I am telling the Treasury Department to re-examine their Tax-Exempt Status and/or Funding, which will be taken away if this Propaganda or Act Against Public Policy continues. Our children must be Educated, not indoctrinated.”
—Donald Trump tweet, 10:49 a.m., July 10, 2020.
“On February 1, 1933, two days after he was appointed chancellor, Hitler spoke over the radio to the German people about his vision for educating German citizens. Trump is a fascist.”
—Eugene Gu, MD, tweet in response to Trump rant, July 10, 2020.
“Dictators suppress dissent by first going after universities and intellectuals. That’s because the smartest and most-educated individuals within a society offer ideas and perspectives that challenge these dictators most effectively. It’s also why Trump wants to crush them.”

“…In 4 years there will be no dissident websites, platforms or email addresses, no dissidents allowed credit cards or bank accounts. No Freedom…”
—Repeat of an excerpt from a David Duke warning earlier this week of what he thinks will happen if Biden wins in November. [So, with the Tangerine Toddler’s own words, who do you think poses the greatest threat to dissent, academic freedom and our First Amendment rights? For a hint at the answer, read on.]
“It will take under its firm protection Christianity as the basis of our morality…it will bring back to our people the consciousness of its racial and political unity and the obligations arising therefrom. It wishes to base the education of German youth on respect for our great past and pride in our old traditions…”
—Excerpt from that radio speech by Hitler on his vision for educating German students. [Remember that anonymous quote (erroneously attributed to Sinclair Lewis) about when fascism comes to America, it will be “wrapped in a flag and holding a cross.”]
From the History Channel –
“In January 1945, facing a siege of Berlin by the Soviets, Hitler withdrew to his bunker to live out his final days. Located 55 feet under the chancellery, the shelter contained 18 rooms and was fully self-sufficient, with its own water and electrical supply. Though he was growing increasingly mad, Hitler continued to give orders and meet with such close subordinates as Hermann Goering, Heinrich Himmler and Josef Goebbels. He also married his long-time mistress Eva Braun just one day before his suicide.
In his last will and testament, Hitler appointed Admiral Karl Donitz as head of state and Goebbels as chancellor. He then retired to his private quarters with Braun, where he and Braun poisoned themselves and their dogs, before Hitler then also shot himself with his service pistol.”
An ignominious ending to the life and legacy of a madman who left the world awash in a maelstrom of inhumanity. Sooner or later, the sins of the past catch up to you and you have to pay the price. As will tRump.
