The "professor" gets more things wrong than right.

The US is on the path to its own unique form of fascistic authoritarianism, but it has nothing to do with Trump. That trend began post 911 with Bush Jr and the Patriot Act and continued under Obama with the expansion of NSA, CIA and DHS and their allied "public" facing corporations like Google and Facebook. 

If anything, Trump's tendency to invent policy by the seat of his pants and tweet non sequiturs represents something more like anarchy, which many believe would be a welcome change from the over-controlling hand of Deep State. However, it must be clear even to a junior professor, that Deep State is back in control again.
