Trump Derangement Syndrome Alive and Well at Colgate University
2017-04-09
[Daily Caller] A Colgate University program is advertising courses for the fall semester with a poster depicting a uniformed Vladimir Putin holding an illustration of President Donald Trump as a small child.

"Say what?" asks the advertisement posted by Colgate’s Russian and Eurasian Studies program. "For greater understanding, take a course in Russian & Eurasian Studies."

A student photographed the poster hanging on a bulletin board of Lawrence Hall at the private university in Hamilton, N.Y.

"I believe that this is yet another example of people, who are angered by the Trump victory, trying to further delegitimize him," the student, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "It’s a shame that these professors, making six-figure salaries, have to result to such better jabs in order to feel that they are accomplishing something."

#2  Given the poster, i'd say it probably isn't an honest course.

#1  Taking a course in Russian & Eurasian Studies is a good idea (assuming - probably wrongly - it is an honest class); using a common current perception as a promotional tool is fine - assuming (again probably wrongly) it is considered a tool and not a given truth.
