Authoritarian regimes benefit from people who are not smart enough to get promoted in traditional ladders but ambitious enough to commit crimes in their efforts to get ahead. Regimes give them a path. As we reduce education, as we reduce real opportunities, we are creating perfect conditions.

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.
