Trump Rages Against Harvard’s ‘Hate and Stupidity’ in Unhinged Rant

The president also demanded the school be left out of “any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges.”

Donald Trump launched into a furious tirade against Harvard University after the college defied his demands for policy changes. After threatening to take away the college’s tax-exempt status over the refusal, Trump followed up with another blistering Truth Social post early Wednesday. “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 raged. He added that “Leftist dopes” run the Ivy League college, 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.” Signing off, he added: “Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The post comes after the White House said it was freezing $2.2 billion in federal funds and a $60 million contract to Harvard, the first major college to stand up to Trump’s demands. The government wants Harvard to report students “hostile” to American values, cancel DEI programs, and hire a government-approved overseer to check programs are antisemitism free.
