President Trump said Monday he wanted to yank $3 billion in federal grants away from a “very antisemitic” Harvard University — as he ripped the Ivy League for not handing over a full list of its foreign students to identify “radicalized lunatics.”
“I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land,” he said on Truth Social.
“What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!”
His threat came less than a week after the White House sought to kick out thousands of foreign students enrolled at the elite school — only for a federal judge to block immigration officials from revoking the legal status of international students just hours later.
Trump blasted the school, too, for apparently stalling on his demand for a list of all its foreign students.
“We are still waiting for the Foreign Student Lists from Harvard so that we can determine, after a ridiculous expenditure of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, how many radicalized lunatics, troublemakers all, should not be let back into our Country,” he raged.
“Harvard is very slow in the presentation of these documents, and probably for good reason!”
The commander-in-chief went on to address Harvard’s recent legal win, suggesting the school had “shopped around” for a judge that’d rule in their favor.
“The best thing Harvard has going for it is that they have shopped around and found the absolute best Judge (for them!) – But have no fear, the Government will, in the end, WIN!” he said.
It comes after Boston US District Judge Allison Burroughs granted the Harvard’s request last week for a temporary restraining order against the Department of Homeland Security for trying to boot the 6,793 foreign students enrolled for the 2024-25 academic year.
