Daily Beast: Trump Rages at Claim War on Harvard Is Revenge for Rejection

Donald Trump blew up on Truth Social over a claim from author Michael Wolff that his crusade against Harvard is personal.

Wolff, author of several books about the president, claimed on The Daily Beast Podcast last week that Trump “didn’t get into Harvard” and is now targeting the university out of revenge.That is The Most Realistic PC Game of 2025

Trump has gone after the university with gusto, freezing its federal funding, threatening its tax-exempt status and moving to block it from enrolling international students.

The president claimed Wolff’s story is “totally FALSE” and insisted he never applied to the Ivy League school.

Or maybe it was Barron:

According to Wolff, a running joke in White House circles held that Trump’s war on the prestigious school stemmed from the rejection of another Trump: his youngest son, Barron.

Or perhaps just a figment of Michael Wolff’s imagination?

USA Today: Trump temporarily backs down on Harvard student ban as judge sides with college

A Boston federal judge said at a hearing May 29 that she planned to issue a preliminary injunction that blocks the Department of Homeland Security from revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign exchange students.

The comments from U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs came as the Trump administration attempted to walk back its May 22 directive that immediately revoked Harvard’s participation in a federal exchange student program.

Latin Times: Trump Insists ‘Nobody Told Us’ That International Students’ Home Countries Don’t Foot Their Tuition Bills

International students are ineligible for federal aid, and most pay tuition with personal or family funds

President Donald Trump claimed in a Truth Social post shared Saturday that “nobody told us” international students’ home countries are not responsible for paying tuition, just two days after his administration moved to ban international students from enrolling in or attending Harvard.

Does the U.S. government pay foreign schools for American students? Why should the reverse be any different? And if you didn’t know, your ignorance is your own problem.

“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to,” Trump wrote. “Nobody told us that!”

See above, fool.

“We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming,” he continued, adding he wants “names and countries.”

Your immigration records (student and other visas) already provide that information, fool.

“Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!” Trump added.

Grants are a quid pro quo in exchange for something of value, usually research in a university context. If you wish to benefit from their research, you’ll provide the grants.

Contrary to the president’s claim, international students are ineligible for federal aid and most aid at the state level. They also typically pay higher tuition rates than U.S. students, either at the out-of-state level or designated international rates. While private universities like Harvard may provide some financial aid and scholarships, nearly 61% of foreign students rely on personal or family funds to pay for schooling in the U.S.

Don’t overload poor King Donald with useful information. He’s brain dead already, a total waste of oxygen.

Latin Times: Trump Claims International Harvard Students ‘Can’t Add 2 and 2’: ‘How Do They Get In?’

Trump insinuated the same international students that can’t do math are the ones protesting on campus.

While speaking to press inside the Oval Office, President Donald Trump claimed international Harvard students are taking remedial math courses at the prestigious university.

On Friday, President Trump affirmed to a reporter that, while he wants the best and brightest from around the world to attend Harvard and other U.S. universities, many of the international students cannot do basic math.

“A lot of the people need remedial math. Did you see that? Where these students cant add two and two, and they go to Harvard?” Trump prompted. “They’re gonna teach remedial math at Harvard,” the president reiterated.

“Now, wait a minute, so why would they get in? How can somebody that can’t add or has very basic skills, how do they get into Harvard? Why are they there?” Trump continued before alleging the international students in remedial math are the same ones protesting on campus.

“You see those same people picketing and screaming at the United States and screaming. They’re antisemitic or they’re something,” he stated. “We don’t want troublemakers here… When Harvard comes out with a statement that they’re gonna teach some of their students remedial math, that’s basic math, uh, that’s not the deal,” Trump added.

What a bigoted moronic jerk!

ActBlue is widely considered one of the pillars of the Democratic Party’s digital ecosystem.

Trump is now trying to sic his politicized Department of Justice on the Democrats’ fund raisers:

President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum Thursday aimed at investigating ActBlue, the leading Democratic fundraising platform.

The memorandum directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make ‘straw’ or ‘dummy’ contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take appropriate action to enforce the law.”

It specifically names ActBlue as an online fundraising platform being used “to improperly influence American elections.”

More harassment of elite universities by an oaf who wasn’t bright enough to be admitted to one:

The Trump administration is freezing more than $1 billion in federal funds to Cornell and $790 million in funding for Northwestern University in response to civil rights investigations at both schools.

“The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump admin official told Fox News.

The pause largely involves grants and contracts to both schools with the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education and Health and Human Services, two administration officials told the New York Times.
