Shift the focus away from Trump and towards another issue, and express doubt about the veracity of claims of cuts at UA. Also suggest that the number of administrators per professor is excessive.
Why are you making this about Trump?  He's a separate idiot. Keep him out of this and lets focus on the real problem here.
Also I did read the article and there have been NO CUTS AT UA PERIOD!  To threaten cuts to teachers is a load of crap. Do you know how many administrators there are per teach/professor at UA?  5!!! 5 per!!! That is insane!!!  Even the professors say its ridiculous but they can't say that out loud because the Union will get them terminated.
