1. The PutinTrump goal is to degrade the US military and hurt national security.

2. Of course it is, but how the federal government is allowed to take over colleges and universities makes no sense

Don't they already have boards that already make these decisions - and have for decades? Actually I have 2 cousins who are graduates of West Point - 1 female. I know that alumni often have a say in school policies.

3. Trump is being allowed to take over everything.

Everyone is folding like a cheap lawn chair.

Everyone is giving up their power and being victims.

4. The Kennedy Center was the first thing that baffled me - and now the Smithsonian?!

Don't they already have long time boards of directors who are already chosen or elected?? And WTF does this have to do with TFG's "duties??

5. The goal is to destroy American culture and art. Like Putin is doing in Ukraine.

And the Nazis did across Europe.
