My first inclination from his post and screen name is that he's a vacuous imbecile who makes everyone around him look like a bunch of dumb schitz, but maybe he can wow me and explain why he would want POTUS to have a "pro-white speech writer."
Just wonderin'
Duke didn’t have a problem with him!
11 Nov 2026: Duke Chronicle: Professor who predicted Trump’s win explains how he knew, what comes next
By Likhitha Butchireddygari
Darren Beattie, Ph.D. ‘16 and visiting instructor of political science, predicted at a political science department gathering Nov. 2 that Donald Trump would win the presidential election. Beattie was also a signatory on a list of “Scholars and Writers for Trump,” who endorsed the candidate. The Chronicle’s Likhitha Butchireddygari corresponded with Beattie to discuss how he was able to foresee Trump’s victory and what a Trump presidency will look like.
Darren Beattie: I thought Trump would win as early as July of last year. There are various signals that someone really attuned to politics knows to look for. One of the signals for me is when Trump made his provocative remarks on immigration and then refused to apologize in the wake of overwhelming corporate and media opposition. Let me be very clear: This does not mean that I like the way he phrased his remarks. My point is that his willingness to take a position on immigration so antithetical to corporate Republican donors and then not be cowed by the usual shaming tactics reflected early on a certain independence and flexibility that led me to think we’re dealing with a very different type of candidate than we’re used to. There are other signals like this, but I can’t get into them all.
Trump’s position on immigration (apart from his provocative word choice) is in many ways very close to [Democrat Bernie] Sanders’ before Sanders compromised to the Democratic National Convention. Check out Sanders’ “Vox” interview with Ezra Klein, for example. More important, let me say a few words about polling and pundits. One thing about pundits and “experts” that readers have to understand is that they are not paid to make accurate predictions or give accurate analysis; they are paid to give predictions and analysis that advance a particular agenda, usually the agenda of some billionaire benefactor or corporate media platform. This is a powerful explanation because it accounts for how most of these people can be utter failures and somehow keep their jobs. Just watch, now a lot of these people who were wrong about everything will be asked their “expert opinion” on how and why they went wrong!...
