For further information, please contact Frank Buckley at fbuckley@gmu.edu." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Professor Frank Buckley organized on short notice without a public can a list of scholars and writers who support Donald Trump for President. An earlier list is "Economists for Trump." Many others would have signed, but they justly feared for their employment in academia and Hollywood. Thus, their support remains private. Too many conservatives today remain in the "closet" in today's colleges and universities and Hollywood - erstwhile bastions of tolerance. My reason for supporting Donald Trump is easy. Four candidates are still in th race for President. He is the only one of the four who offers a chance to reverse America's accelerating decline. Hillary Clinton is the epitome of the status quo, which means increasing decline.
