Yale classmates warn Trump Treasury Secretary Bessent he risks enabling descent 'into fascism'
How many Yale graduates are Republican members of Congress, or conservative Supreme Court justices? They should all get letters....
I mean, he's gotta know. Right? How could he not?
This is useful in removing the “but I didn’t know!” excuse. He’s now been told, publicly.
This should be done for every member of the current administration who has attended a school of higher learning.
Agreed!
A group of Yale University classmates of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged him in a letter to reconsider his role “in facilitating the Trump administration’s intended transformation” of the U.S. “into an authoritarian state.”
As of Friday, 140 members of the Yale Class of 1984 signed the online letter to Bessent, a member of that class.
It argues that “so many” of the actions of President Donald Trump and his second administration are unconstitutional and undermine the principles of democracy.
The signatories include lawyers, CEOs, journalists, playwrights, a pastor, college professors, a farmer, and social workers.
The letter to Bessent says that he, as a Political Science major at Yale, knows “that the three branches of the U.S. government are meant to act as equal partners, providing checks and balances on each other to prevent the kind of power grab the executive branch is currently perpetrating.”
The missive then ticks off a list of examples of what it says are the Trump administration’s efforts “to usurp the power vested in the judicial and legislative branches ... for their own personal aggrandizement, wealth, and power.”
"Classmates warn Heimrich Himmler he risks enabling descent 'into fascism'"
WTF are they talking about fascism in a future tense, we've been here for decades.
He “risks” it. Lol. Enabling the descent into fascism is what we are all about these days
Christ... letter this, letter that. Warning this, warning that. Trump did this, Trump did that.
Just rise up already! You are all in already in the very same despotism that the American founding fathers warned you all of!
Such a warning assumes this is a person with a shred of moral integrity. He’s out here saying the most ridiculously stupid shit I’ve ever heard from an “economic expert”, and I know he’s smart enough to know it.
I feel like our prohibitively expensive and unequal education system partially enabled this widespread ruling class psychopathy and mediocrity we face
Warns? Descent? WE ARE THERE. HERE YOU ARE. If you voted this guy in, you are part of the problem. 😮💨
