So they are going to enforce free speech laws and ban antisemitism? Who decides when free speech has gotten too antisemitic?

Tell me again how he's not the Manchurian Candidate here.

The Feds need to be OUT of education. Not going further in.

You just don’t get it man. This is a brilliant plan to expose the deep swamp so they can be destroyed (by funding them indefinately). Democrats are playing checkers. Trump is playing 75 and 9/35ths degree chess!

He'll put Randi Weingarten in charge to expose her as the progfilth we all (already) know she is.

Populists are not Conservatives.

And never will be.

You adapt with Trump all you want.

I will still maintain that making government bigger is a bad idea. Always has been.

Or here’s an idea…why not start breaking up the DC Cartel, and start moving government offices out of DC, and out into the rest of the country. Those already employed would have the choice to moving to an office in OK or NM, or they could decide to seek employment elsewhere and let a local take the job. That would be a way weaken the grip that the Beltway has on the rest of the country, as well as diffuse the power those people have on their state politics. If only there were a candidate who has suggested doing this…..



Yeah but currently you have a lot of Dems in dc we exactly three electoral votes in a presidential election and no senators or representatives. They’d still be pressured by the same lobbyists as before and now they’d also be voting in swing states. Just gut it and be done with it. Don’t make things worse

This has nothing to do with Desantis. This was Trump’s own stupid idea. But I get why you won’t defend it.

You’re allowed to say anything you want! We support free speech! Unless you critique Israel or believe Soros has too much influence, in which case the government is allowed to sue you to fund an online university

I like it.

I have had this idea for a while now.

Just one recorded class for each subject matter that can be replayed over and over. No need for a new professor for every 100-400 students. Will cost a bit ( not compared to what we are giving away now) to get started but should be pretty cheap once it is up and running. It could be extremely cheap compared to what we have now if not free.

Dude come on. Ron didn’t make Trump put forth a stupid idea. It’s ok to call balls and strikes. However, the fact that you can’t is unsurprising.

Ah, the old status quo.

We've always done it this way.

Not only the most dangerous phrase in business but also the prevailing thought of cowards too afraid to challenge anything.

Lol there’s not a single idea you Trump haters would ever possibly say isn’t stupid. Yall’s position doesn’t exactly carry a bunch of weight. Trump is merely putting forth ideas for consideration and to spark further discussion. This isn’t a “final version” of the thing. That the Politico article frames it completely otherwise, and that some amongst us eat it up, is not very surprising. “Trump campaign officials said they have yet to decide who would run American Academy”…..lol.

I don’t care if Trump thought of it after doing bong hits. It’s not about “starting a conversation.” It’s a stupid idea. It’s a simple as that. Put simply, if Ron DeSantis proposed this, I would immediately say, it’s stupid and would start to re-evaluate him as a candidate.

A little intellectual honesty would be appreciated from Trump fans as they are so fond of lecturing us on what it means to be a conservative.
