NYC school teacher hosts antisemitic, conspiracy podcast while wearing tinfoil hat

A New York City public school teacher hosts a vile podcast where he spouts unhinged, antisemitic conspiracy theories while wearing a homemade tinfoil hat, The Post has learned.
George Trim, 43, who teaches social studies at IS 281 in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, regularly posts wild videos to his YouTube page, where he goes by Cartoonking365. The channel was established on April 26, 2015.
The Post identified Trim by matching images from his YouTube account to pictures posted online from the school’s Instagram.
His channel, MMEEDUCATING, is filled with videos where he espouses various conspiracies, while clad in a wacky tinfoil hat and other bizarre costumes, such as a Guy Fawkes mask.
In one video from July 8, the educator who made $110,848 last year, espoused the antisemitic conspiracy theory that WTC owner Larry Silverstein had prior knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Before you have a 9/11, this guy just has the insight to get insurance against a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. Okay, Larry Silverstein, you are you,” Trim ranted.
In a June 15 diatribe, he accused Israel of playing a role in the JFK assassination.
“Jack Ruby, not Mr. Rubenstein, we’re never gonna ever call him that, they keep telling us he’s part of the mafia, they didn’t say which mafia … in Israel he’ll be referred to as Jacob Rubenstein; in America he’s Jack Ruby,” Trim urged.
“The Jewish mafia’s involved … doesn’t that change a lot of things? Don’t we have to therefore … look into what happened with the fact that JFK was saying ‘hey, American Zionist party … y’all lobbying money but you need to label yourselves foreign entities. They decide not, same year he’s gone.”
In another video, Trim — who boasts over 7,000 YouTube subscribers — claimed the moon landing was a hoax.

“They say ‘You crazy, how dare you not believe in the moon landing?’… and just like that we went from not having any ability to ever go to outer space … and all the sudden we have made it to the moon,” he raged on March 25.
Trim began working for the city Department of Education in 2009 and collected a $110,848 salary in 2025, public records show. He received a master’s degree from the University of Mount Saint Vincent in the Bronx in 2012, according to his LinkedIn.
The Post identified Trim by comparing images from his YouTube account to photos posted on IS 281’s Instagram page.
“Antisemitic educators and schools continue to freely promote Jewish conspiracies, tropes, libels, and indoctrination that go unchecked by school leaders,” United Jewish Teacher President Moshe Spern told The Post.
A DOE spokesperson told The Post that the matter has been referred for investigation.
“The views described do not reflect the values of New York City Public Schools and have no place in our classrooms,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
IS 281 faced backlash in June 2025 after it hosted Syrian-American author Rhonda Rhoumani to discuss her book, “Tagging Freedom,” in an assembly for sixth graders.
During the lecture, Rhoumani displayed a map of the Middle East that omitted all of the land that comprises Israel, leaving only Gaza and the West Bank with the rest colored in blue, and labeled the country “Palestine.”
A DOE spokesperson said that the lecture was investigated and “appropriate action was taken.”
City public schools have been plagued by antisemitism and anti-Israel indoctrination since the Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2003.
Trim could not be reached for comment. The DOE did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
