US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (April 16) launched a fresh attack on Harvard University, which is considered one of the world’s most elite educational institutions. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the university has become “a joke” and “should no longer receive Federal Funds.”
“Everyone knows that Harvard has “lost its way.” They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to “teach” municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and “birdbrains” who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called “future leaders”,” trump said in a post.
“Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.
It may be noted that the remarks by the US President came as the US administration is in the middle of the funding standoff with the top university, which has become a focal point of his war against elite educational institutions.
Why is Trump threatening to freeze $2.2 billion in Harvard grants?
On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump threatened to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status as a nonprofit educational institution, just hours after halting $2.2 billion in federal funding. The move is part of a broader crackdown in which the Trump administration has pressured numerous colleges and universities, warning them of losing federal support due to policies promoting racial diversity among students and staff.
Trump has insisted that Harvard overhaul its internal operations, including student admissions and hiring processes, and allow audits of its academic programs and departments. Harvard declined the administration’s terms, stating it would not “negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights.” This refusal ultimately led to the suspension of its federal funding.
The Trump administration has defended these actions by citing concerns over rising anti-Semitism on campuses and what it claims is widespread support for Hamas, a designated terrorist organisation by the U.S. government.
