Yes, again.

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.
Again?

Didn't we do this already? With it ending in absolute failure?
- 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.
- and he polls at about a 50% chance of getting the Presidency, again.
  
  Representatives gonna represent.
- That is a fascist's favorite line. Acuse your enemy of everything you are guilty of.
He’s like a 10 year old that’s been given an assignment to make up a pretend world.
- Sure all his followers are living inside their own world in their heads, directly connected to the blather he spews.
- pretend world
  That’s where severely brain-addled narcissists live.
Loser University 2.0
Trying to invent a new class of university?
Credited
Non-Accredited
Discredited
- A new way to send a CnD letter but this time it's not from your ISP.
- Dilapidated
His language is a metaphorical dog whistle for "No blacks, no Muslims".
- And probably no female students either, can't have the incels getting all worked up
  
  So a Y’allQueduh training center.
To everyone making "again?" jokes, no. This is different. This is actually worse.
@FlyingSquid
A 'public' university, with public money going to him? But we already have TV, 4chan, wrestling, religion to lower the national IQ ... #fascism #deporttrump
- He says it's going to be free. Which means there's a big old catch.
  
  If you're not being sold something, you're the product.
  
  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.
  
  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)
“How to get stupider and pay tuition for it” University edition
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)
- I'm guessing it means 'no brown people who aren't Christian' and he didn't think further than that.
  
  I think he means no non Christian’s
Why are all the unhinged gun owners shooting up random public places but this guy is still alive?
Because the Trump brand is doing so well.
- 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.
- All he ever peddled was grievances.
Yeah I mean it went absolutely swimmingly the first time.
The Academy will award the full and complete equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.
Equivalent right
The American Academy will grant credit for past coursework at legacy institutions
Sure but there is no chance credits will transfer to other schools
Didn't he get convicted of fraud for "Trump University" already?

Christofascism is A-OK, though.
Uhhh great, I always wanted to take intelligent design 101.
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.
