I suppose if people accept this as factual then they will also think Trump would make a good president.

Nah. One can recognize that "liberals" as the author uses the term are idealists while still recognizing that Trump is a buffoon.

I think you just made my point.  If one accepts that liberals are idealists then Trump starts to make some sense.  And the liberal goal of having an educated society will indeed have failed.

You may not like how Americans, especially conservatives, use the word "liberal" but it does not make them uneducated.

If they believe the tripe in that article then uneducated is perhaps the most kind thing one can say about them.

What about the Apollo program, or was that already in place?

Sure, but I was thinking of free money for hard working middle class Americans kind of programs.

He was certainly a supporter of those already in action. And he did things like the space program which included the hated liberal federal intervention into education. And he did things like the Peace Corps which Clinton tried to copy with AmeriCorps.
