It's called a market economy. If people want to pay that much to join who are you to stop them?

Why don't you start a business? Trump has eliminated hundreds of regulations which have strangled small business owners. Or are you a Bernie voter who wants handouts? Ask Bernie, he and his wife have plenty of money. Ask them to redistribute their wealth to you.

The fact is that most college campuses have become nothing but left wing indoctrination camps. They're hotbeds of Marxist totalitarianism and intolerance. It's republicans who say teach the stem stuff while it's the dems and libs focusing on all the social justice bull**** like gender and ethnic studies.
A STEM degree will require other courses including history and social sciences. Look at a typical STEM curriculum. Social sciences can includes any thing from geography to psychology to economics.

Are you aware that these same clubs have lost thousands of dollars in catering business because charities are no longer booking their events at his clubs due to security hassles? I guess not.

That's one piece of news that I'm happy to believe.

I'm sure it was reported early in the president's days of office that he was rescinding his pay. Various presidents have done this. Look it up.

Maybe he wants to apply for Medicaid when he leaves office? Four yrs ...No income..He might get approved

She said the President doesn't believe a child's education should be based on zip code; every child deserves a shot at success. She and Ivanka just hosted a summer reading event at the Smithsonian to focus getting young girls excited about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). They will use the President's donation for a STEM focused camp for students to encourage kids to explore STEM fields as future careers. This is one of Ivanka's projects.

You won't hear about this on mainstream media of course. Ask why your news is censored.
A $400,000 presidential salary is nothing to a billionaire like Donald Trump.

And I have never thought that Donald Trump was EVIL until this moment. Trump is using our (children's) education system for manipulation, and portraying a image that he is helping our education system with donations.

But in reality Trump plans to take $9.2 billion dollars away from our education system every year, and then transfer that money to huge tax cuts for himself, $7 billion dollars for his family, and $1 trillion dollars in tax cuts for his personal business network.
President Trump's Budget Proposal Calls For Deep Cuts To Education : NPR Ed : NPR

First Trump wants to lower his tax rate by 14.2% (while he lowers workers tax rates by 0.8%.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetno...nalysis-finds/

Then Trump wants to give his family $7 billion dollars (by abolishing the Estate tax, a tax that only effects the richest 0.2% of Americans.)
Trump

And then Trump wants to give his personal business network $1 trillion dollars with his infrastructure plan.
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2...structure-scam


The scumbag Trump is manipulating the American people by donating $100,000 to our education system, while he takes $9.2 billion dollars from our education system every year, so he can give himself and his family billions of dollars.

And I can understand a greedy billionaire like Trump wanting to get more money for himself and his family, and I'll call him a honor-less scumbag for that. But when Trump uses our (children) and their education system in his manipulation publicity schemes (while he takes billions of dollars from our children's education system) for that I will call him EVIL.

And your above statement is as much of a manipulation as Trumps $100,000 donation to our education system.

Here's CNN reporting the story.
Trump donates portion of salary to Department of Education - CNNPolitics.com

Here's ABC reporting the story.
Trump donation first-quarter salary to education - ABC News


And here's MSNBC reporting the story (with some accuracy.)

Trump has only passed 90 something legal documents. Most have nothing to do with small business.

Which regulations are you talking about?

Most Republicans have college degrees, but don't like the direction education has gone. It has become a liberal/progressive (communist/fascist) INDOCTRINATION CENTER. Current universities are the worst.

Trump should abolish the Dept of Education as it is, and should be a state, and local thing.

Fascism is on the Conservative side of the political spectrum. The GOP and its Pres. has shown the nation.
