The Truth Behind Trump’s MIT Connection
Donald Trump’s crusade against radical liberal universities is no secret. Yet, in an endless game of hypocrisy, he plays favorites. Harvard is a target, but MIT gets a pass. Why? The answer lies within the family tree, particularly in the name of John G. Trump, his esteemed uncle. It’s the classic case of protecting the family name while taking aim at institutions that dare to challenge his administration.
“I carry intelligence in my blood. My uncle was a MIT professor,” Trump declared, flaunting familial connections while launching slanderous attacks on academia.”
In numerous interviews, Trump has woven tales of his uncle: “A genius! He talked about nuclear when nuclear was still a mystery!” Seven years later, he reverted to that theme, hoping to ride the coattails of scientific achievement. During a pandemic, he claimed his “natural instinct for science” must come from his uncle, the professor. Yet his actions reveal a persistent disregard for the very knowledge that his family once championed!
The Migrant Legacy of the Trump Family
John G. Trump wasn’t just any professor; he was the younger brother of Fred Trump, Donald’s father, and a testament to American exceptionalism as a second-generation American. Born in the U.S. to German immigrants, Uncle John represents the very citizenship that Donald now seeks to undermine with his politically charged rhetoric.
According to Gwenda Blair, author of the enlightening The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire, family squabbles led Uncle John away from the family business and into the hallowed halls of MIT. Imagine that! The overly ambitious Fred wanted to sell property, while the brilliant John was determined to create—two visions at odds. This divergence, perhaps, is the first clue to the deep flaws within the Trump psyche.
A Legacy in Science, Not Politics
John G. Trump excelled as a professor and a researcher, contributing significantly to the U.S. war effort during World War II. His role included improving radar technology and working on radiation laboratory projects, proving his loyalty to the nation at a time when it was under threat. Meanwhile, Donald Trump prefers to manipulate truth for political gain, neglecting the scientific roads laid down by his uncle.
“John made invaluable contributions to modern medicine, while Donald seems more interested in deceiving the masses,” said one observer of their starkly different paths.
In 1942, John was even tasked with investigating Nikola Tesla’s unpublished works—efforts that ended unceremoniously as there were no breakthroughs to report. Yet, when it came to medical breakthroughs, John’s ingenuity saved countless lives! Will Donald ever acknowledge that the true legacy of the Trump name isn’t found in real estate deals but in scientific innovation?
The Future—Something We All Need to Consider
John G. Trump retired peacefully but left a significant legacy that Donald seems desperate to ignore. The family company, High Voltage Engineering, dissolved years after John’s death, straining under the weight of mediocrity and opportunism—the very antithesis of what John stood for.
As we look back, let us remember that not all Trumps are created equal—some actually contributed to society, while others play the puppet in the game of lies and deception. MIT has its flaws, but let’s face it: it has produced far more good for the world than the recent shenanigans of the Trump dynasty.
