Seriously, the political discourse of this nation has reached a new low. I can hate Princeton sports but to compare Princeton and Yale to Trump University....sigh

People who say things like this are usually the ones who, like Carlson, admit they wasted their own college opportunity. Obviously he missed the class that discussed false analogies.
His comments will make for some interesting commentary when he speaks (for $$) next week at a dinner for a major commercial institution with a large percentage of ivy grads. I expect him to endorse Trump's mantra: I just don't care

He's always been a complete asshat, but this defense of Trump is next level douchebaggery.

Interesting, who knew that would outsmart the profanity filter. ;-)

Yes, Carlson is off the mark with his analogy.
His one example is a crass attempt to separate fools from their money in return for an "education" that you could just as easily gain from internet for free. The other is a way for Trump to line his pockets by taking advantage of people.
