If you’re in higher ed and are trying to ignore Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, you shouldn’t.
Did you like the new tax on endowments? How about the general isolationist talk that is making it difficult to recruit that undeniable college cash cow—the foreign student? How about his Justice Department’s attack on affirmative action.
All are Trumpian policies that wouldn’t exist if he weren’t there.
And what about the anti-intellectualism that Trump represent? The man is a non-reader who probably relied on second-hand accounts from obsequious aides about the book. He may not know how bad it paints him.
Wherever you are in higher ed, as an administrator, teacher or student, you owe it to yourself to read the book.
We’re all in this Trump fantasy together, which is why Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is much more than what the president insists is a “fake book.”
The unimpeachable fact that Wolff’s fly-on-the wall tale reveals is that Trump ran for glory, not for the good of the country, democracy or his love of the office of the presidency.
