The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

I would point an interested reader and careful thinker to two things. One, the university recently built another top-down school without student demand or sustainable funding. It isnāt doing so well. Two, I would point out that sports dynasties are built over generations.
