Trump is full of silly ideas. How is this any different from forgiving student loans? And in 4 years he’ll be calling his voters “losers” for actually believing that he was going to create a free, online university. And they’ll all clap loudly like the trained seals they are.

He's taking the 'college should be free' issue away from the dems.


That’s one way to spin this. But it won’t work.

It’s funny how the OnlyTrumpFans will love this and then in the next breathe say he’s conservative.

We get it, you’ll do whatever he tells you. We also understand that you don’t have the foresight on how this will be used against us down the road.

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…..

Set up a federal university that will be controlled by the dems in no time.

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

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

The worst idea trump has ever came up with was the delayed employee tax contributions during covid.



He's worse than the typical dem when it comes to vote buying.

But then he is a dem, so I guess no one should be surprised.

He is a 90s Democrat through and through, he loves himself some big government.

Like we always knew about Trump, this is the farthest thing from true Conservatism... creating government run schools at the federal level.

...Oh, and a question: why not do it when he was in office?

It's worse than that. It can be a government program that, if presented by anybody else, they'd shite a brick over. They agree with it the instant it's proposed by him.

Then later, if he says it was a stupid idea that one of his horrible hires came up with, they'll reverse course right along with him.

Cult45 claims he, and they by association, are the conservatives around here.

I respect him for trying to find a fix to the problem of credits not transferring, and trying to improve access to online learning, but there are so many potential problems with this plan that I don’t even know where to start.

Yes let’s just tax things that we disagree with. It won’t change their culture or make it cheaper but it will make you feel better.
