I see a lot of replies that are missing the real point of this directive.
Essentially, Trump is trying to bust up the good old boys club. A lot of people probably don't understand how this all works, but if you go to an Ivy league school, or one of the other half dozen prestigious schools in this country, you build a network with fellow class mates, professors and, if you show "promise", influential alumni start to "mentor" you. These Alumni are seated in positions of power throughout our government and they all consider each other friends, or at the very least, comrades who try to scratch each other's backs,
Since these individual's loyalty almost certainly does not lie in upholding the constitution, but in the friendships and mentor-ships they have developed since they were a young kid in college...or even earlier, this weaves a dangerous web where our government officials see anyone who isn't in their little clique as a potential enemy. This further strengthens the bond between these people and leads to all kinds of corruption.
I don't know how effective this move by Trump will be, but at least it's a start.
Precisely. This is what Trump means when he says these people actually hate our country. They detest people outside their little clique and view themselves as the elite. Amazing that a person with Trump’s background can have more in common with the hard working people of this country than these so-called “elites”.
CANCEL BIG EDUCATION!
