Always strange how Trump is the leader of a nationwide anti-higher education movement but also personally cares deeply about what college people went to

And it's always a college that no one in the room could have gotten into. Or where his daddy could have bought him a seat.

That's because everything that's happening is an inter-elite fight. As much as they all code as or are legitimate bozos, everyone in the administration went to Penn or Harvard or Princeton or Yale or Duke, and so on.

"I went to MIT for a degree in astrophysics so I could work in a control tower for $90k, even though there are lots of military-trained people who do it very well."

He doesn't care about education but he is deeply invested in social cachet. To him, a prestigious university is clout but only clout. He doesn't see any of the substance behind it. That's why hee sees no difference between those who got in on merit and those who had strings pulled for them.

It’s because his uncle taught at MIT, and that uncle is the only person I’ve ever heard Trump say was smarter than he is.

Reminds me of how Peter Thiel is always framed as anti-higher-ed, but he actually loves to elevate people who dropped out of Ivy League schools. The alt-right prefers elite-approved elites who shun the elites.
