Dr. Brooke Mascagni teaches American Political Institutions at California State University-Dominguez Hills
A political science and feminist studies professor at California State University-Dominguez Hills has described Donald Trump as a white supremacist and an orange reality star in a class syllabus.
Dr. Brooke Mascagni teaches American Political Institutions at the university and said in the syllabus that by the end of the class students will know ‘how Americans form their political beliefs.
They will also understand ‘how democracy is threatened when it is taken for granted,’ why politics matters’ and be able to ‘understand how U.S. government and political processes promote – and constrain – liberty, equality, and popular sovereignty,’ according to the syllabus obtained by Campus Reform.
A section called ‘Why is this class important?’ goes on to explain that ‘Future generations will wonder how the greatest democracy in the world elected a white supremacist, misogynist, narcissistic, volatile, belligerent, uninformed, stubborn, failed businessman and orange reality star to the highest office.’
She continues by asking the question ‘How will you explain it?’

Mascagni then rails against Trump and the Republican party at large, pointing to the ever-increasing scandals shaking Congress and the White House.
‘The President of the United States won the 2016 election by appealing to bigotry and hatred,’ she wrote.
‘Just about everyday, a new scandal breaks or evidence of corruption emerges. Moreover, the Republican Party controls the executive and legislative branches of government, yet couldn’t manage to keep the government running on the one year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration.’
Mascagni continued: ‘And, oh yeah, Russia interfered with the U.S. electoral process and our president is under investigation for obstruction of justice.’
‘How did we get here? What facilitated Trump’s rise to power? How is California challenging these threats to democracy?’ she asked in the syllabus.
Scandal has followed Trump this year after news broke that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen had paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed in earlier interviews she had an affair with Trump (pictured Feb 5)

At the same time, Robert Mueller and Trump are approaching a showdown after Republicans in congress released a memo alleging abuse of government surveillance powers by the Justice Department.
It includes revelations that might complicate efforts by Trump and his allies to undermine the special counsel’s inquiry.

The four-page document released Friday contends that the FBI, when it applied for a surveillance warrant on a onetime Trump campaign associate, relied excessively on an ex-British spy whose opposition research was funded by Democrats.
However, the memo also confirms that the investigation into potential Trump links to Russia actually began several months earlier, and was ‘triggered’ by information involving a different campaign aide.
