'Unfit to lead': Barron Trump's new NYU professors publicly condemned his father

A slate of Barron Trump's new business school professors at New York University warned the nation four years ago that then-President Donald Trump was "unfit to lead."

Fourteen administrators from the NYU Stern School of Business, where 18-year-old Barron matriculated this fall, added their names to an October 2020 open letter signed by more than 1,000 professors from elite institutions across the nation.

"It is time for business leaders to declare publicly what so many have been saying privately: that President Trump is unfit to lead and is a threat to the Republic" wrote Harvard University professor Professor Deepak Malhotra in the letter which was then signed by the other academics.

"And it is time for journalists to start asking America’s CEOs whether they believe four more years of Trump would be good for the country."

Among the signatories is Interim dean J. P. Eggers, whom the Daily Beast reported Barron met this week. The Beast also reports that more than half of the administrators who signed the letter remain at the school.

Barron Trump enters college as his father remounts a bid for the White House that, four years ago and before the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots, professors nationwide warned could be catastrophic to the nation.

"Demanding a peaceful transfer of power ought not to reveal your political affiliation," the professors said in the letter. "And safeguarding our laws, institutions, and norms is important to both Republicans and Democrats."
