Professors are helping Trump win: Penn academic

President Donald Trump is an “existential threat to democracy,” according to a University of Pennsylvania professor.

So it is important higher education is careful how it talks about politics so as not to encourage voters to support the former president out of spite for the elites, Professor Jonathan Zimmerman wrote recently.

“Let me be clear: Like most of my colleagues, I regard Donald Trump as an existential threat to our democracy,” Zimmerman (pictured) wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday.

“A second Trump presidency would be a disaster for the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, and many other essential American principles and practices,” he wrote, joining the chorus of professors warning democracy is over for if Trump wins in November.
