Not just Trump. The entire GOP has been on the road to oligarchy for decades. That's a big part of why they've turned against education. Not just because ignorant people are so much easier to fool, but because education is the great equalizer, and the oligarchs don't want equality.

Absolutely everything about Donald Trump is predatory. Trump is a greed machine, rolling over and crushing everyone in his path.
Predatory Capitalism is:
Healthcare for profit.
Education for profit.
Housing for profit.
Prisons for profit.
Utilities for profit.
Food for profit.
War for profit.
We must find the courage & compassion to evolve beyond this neverending cycle of greed & suffering.
