My Hot Take On Trump Diverting $3 Billion From Harvard To Trade Schools | Hot Takes

Yesterday, Donald Trump floated an idea. “What if we took $3 billion in taxpayer funds earmarked for Harvard and redirected them to America’s trade schools?”

My first thought was, “How about that?”

A decade ago, I went to Congress, twice, and encouraged them to do something very similar. How interesting to see a sitting President propose the same thing 10 years later?

Moments later, my phone blew up. 100 texts, at least, from people who wanted to congratulate me or ask me if I had “something to do with this.” Along with dozens of emails from dozens of producers on dozens of shows on every major news channel, inviting me to “weigh in” on the President’s proposal.

What could possibly go wrong?

Suffice it to say, I spent the day talking about the wisdom of this proposal. I did my best to sound cogent in a collection of soundbites, and now, as the sun is setting in California, I’m doing the only sensible thing a man in my position can. I’m pouring a generous glass of Knobel and letting Chuck interview me about the same damn thing.

I’m not sure this was a good idea, but the people on this page have been supportive of mikeroweWORKS for nearly 17 years and deserve their own interview. So, for better and worse, here it is. My official take on the President’s latest proposal, with no regard for pithy soundbites or “hard outs” at the top of the hour.

Enjoy, if you dare.
