    Trump will take colleges away from the left. Left indoctrination is ending soon (college accreditation).
    Can't financially handle emergencies because the working class has been exploited for decades.
    To expand the Republican base, special needs will be paid for by our brave new gov't efficiency upgrades.

    Lara Trump wants to be appointed senator for Florida in Rubio's place by DeSantis. For real.

    She has lived there for three whole years now.

    Yes you are "special needs" so should benefit. Or, as Trump suggested for his nephew, you might be just allowed to die.

    Either way, it's what Trump wants so that's a win for you.

    America's universities have been on the decline (going out of business) because of financial struggles long before the Pandemic...similar to church (religion) and religious schools for the following reasons:
    • Dwindling Enrollment
    • Rising Tuition
    • Increased expenses from inflation and labor costs (e.g. upgrades, building renovations, maintenance costs, and professor salaries)
    • Excessive capital construction debt
    Then there's the COVID-19 pandemic that accelerated the decline in America's universities, churches, and religious schools. This is not a problem only in America, it's a problem globally because it was a global pandemic.

    Simply, Trump will not take colleges away but state universities that depend upon government aid can be required to change their curriculum so that it's LESS liberal but that in itself is a killer because it will expedite the decline not just at liberal universities but ALL universities.

    The whipsaw impact is that it pushes bigger universities to depend on revenue from sports and endowments. Smaller universities will compensate by raising their tuition costs...making schools only available for the wealthy.

    On the plus side, online universities are rising fast as an alternative including a significant portion of traditional colleges are adding online programs to meet student demand, even post-pandemic, indicating a growing trend in online education...thanks to the Pandemic.

    In addition, community colleges are becoming increasingly popular for their low costs and more traditional 4-year college experiences & activities. More students are choosing to attend community college for a few years (to save costs) before transferring to a traditional college to finish their college education in route to a degree.

    Further, trade and technical schools have been increasing. Thus, liberal colleges on their own have a dooming forecast without Trump trying to screw them over...no need to kill something that's already dying.

    By the way, some Christian colleges have seen a growth in the number of students but not a growth in the number of Christian colleges. The growth is attributed to Christian colleges offering more "diversity" in their education programs that focus more on personal development...just enough to attract more students...they're cheaper too. :D

    Keep in mind that some Christian colleges are not conservative and vice versa. ​

    Reminder, Trump has already once attempted to change education when he created his own university. That failed miserably...

    New York's Department of Education requested that the enterprise drop the university from its name in order to continue to do business in the state. It didn't offer degrees; it was not accredited; and its students were not eligible for federal financial aid. On top of that, students did not get the education they were promised after payment.​

    Simply, they were defrauded although Trump insisted that students were not defrauded.

    This is a problem in America as more schools try the Trump University tactic of increasing tuition with no accredited degrees regardless if they're a liberal college, religious school, or not.

    I think this is why an increasing number of Americans think (it is a feeling to them) that getting a higher education is not worth the cost of going into "forever debt" for a degree (or no degree) that's not able to compensate for that "forever debt".

    I learned a lot of the above after traveling a lot in the United States with my kids that wanted to visit Universities in the United States so that they can compare the U.S. to universities in Canada and France.

    One is now a military cadet in the United States, the middle kid will graduate next year and plans to attend university in France (he's changed his mind a dozen times) and my youngest is now 15 years old...she wants to attend college in Canada. My kids are going to be spread out across the world after I failed to convince them to all go to college in the same country. :banghead:

    P.S. Religious colleges are declining too as stated above but the decline is LESS than the decline of traditional colleges.

    Cue the clown music for the Trump supporters who were dumb enough to elect him again. How soon they forgot the first term. The US safety net was already full of holes people could fall through Trump makes them bigger.

    Low to middle class Americans are going to pay the bill for electing Trump just like the first term. Certainly it won't be high tax bracket recent immigrants from Canada :). Nobody said life was necessarily fair in Trump's kingdom. Ironic really that you think being an American voter is the important aspect here, rather then actual ability and what the market needs.

    That domamine addict can't help himself. Weak minded.

    Its going to fall apart faster than a crunchy taco for them.

    On the plus side my kid's luxury fallout shelter experience weekends are going so well. Reminds me that Silo season 2 has started.

    The trailer is a massive spoiler so don't look if not seen the first season. Rebecca Ferguson had to carry the show a bit too much so hoping season 2 is improved.

    Doom is good for business.

    Your supposed wins from elections reminds me of Calhoun's trading posts on here. It seems to be more about grandstanding and claiming wins on the internet than actually winning anything real.
