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!

MSNBC: Trump admin blocks Harvard from enrolling international students, escalating radical fight

The administration has gone from eliminating Harvard’s grants to targeting its tax-exempt status to halting its ability to enroll international students.

Harvard University has faced an unprecedented and radical offensive from Donald Trump and his team, which to date has focused on eliminating federal grants to the school, while simultaneously targeting Harvard’s tax-exempt status.

There is, however, a third element of the offensive. The New York Times reported:

The Trump administration on Thursday halted Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, a major escalation in the administration’s efforts to pressure the college to fall in line with the president’s agenda. The administration notified Harvard about the decision after a back-and-forth in recent days over the legality of a sprawling records request as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s investigation, according to three people with knowledge of the negotiations.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi [Bimbo #2] Noem personally sent a letter to the university, which she posted to X later Thursday, that read in part, “I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked.”

This development is extraordinary, but it does not appear out of the blue: In mid-April, while canceling nearly $3 million in DHS grants to Harvard, Noem simultaneously demanded that the university turn over records on foreign students alleged to have engaged in “illegal and violent activities.” Failure to cooperate would jeopardize Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification — which allows schools to admit international students.

Evidently, [Bimbo #2] Noem has now followed through on that threat.

This may well be the undoing of Kristi [Bimbo #2] Noem, as she learns that that the tentacles of Harvard’s alumni extend everywhere.

Mediaite: Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] Threatens to Revoke Harvard’s Ability to Enroll Foreign Students Over ‘Cesspool of Extremist Riots’

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] has threatened to remove Harvard University from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program and block the school from enrolling foreign students.

In a letter sent to Harvard’s leadership that was released publicly Wednesday via a DHS press release, Noem [Bimbo #2] demanded records on foreign students involved in protests or activities she described as promoting terrorism and antisemitism.

The university has until April 30 to respond to Noem [Bimbo #2] with the information she demanded, or it risks being removed from the SEVP program.

Noem [Bimbo #2] also announced the cancellation of two federal grants awarded to Harvard totaling $2.7 million. She blasted the school in a statement:

Harvard bending the knee to antisemitism — driven by its spineless leadership — fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security. With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard’s position as a top institution of higher learning is a distant memory. America demands more from universities entrusted with taxpayer dollars.

Incredible overreach ….
