Trump is foaming at the mouth about Harvard [1]

The title sounds like hyperbole, but Donald went overboard because Harvard said no, we won't submit to your bullying and we'll fight you in court for already funded money. Trump lays down lie after mixed up lie.

"Harvard is an Anti-Semetic, Far Left Institution..."

It's nothing of the kind, except intelligent people leaving a college are more likely than not to be liberal. The term liberal arts, however, is about getting a wide range of exposure to different viewpoints and studies. Something Trump knows nothing about. The antisemetic slur is the catch-phrase for attacking higher education that have allowed students to protest the killing in Gaza. It is now estimated at 51,000 people have been killed there.

Colleges and students have gotten smarter. On Tuesday students at Yale set up tents outside where Israeli Security Minister Itamer Ben-Gvir was going to speak, but left by 11:30 pm and left the tents for Yale security to take down. The protesters felt there would be "retribution," if they stayed the night.

"... with students being accepted from all over the World that want to rip our Country apart."

That is not their purpose in coming to this country. It's all about learning. Those taking part in the protests aren't just foreign students. And neither set of students want to tear our country apart. They are simply protesting the loss of life.

"The place is a liberal mess, allowing a certain group of crazed lunatics to enter and exit the classroom and spew fake ANGER AND HATE."

So, they're waltzing into classrooms, saying stuff and then leaving? No, they exit the classroom and say stuff. But it's fake anger and hate, not real anger and hate? If it's fake anger and hate, why do you care? This is why I said that Trump was foaming at the mouth. He's highly confused.

"It is truly horrific!"

No, your foaming at the mouth is. Protesters will follow you the rest of your life. Get used to it. Everyone has a right to redress their grievances, students included. Your fake antisemitism crusade is just a cover for your authoritarianism actions to turn higher learning into right wing propaganda machines.

"Now, since our filings began, they all act like they are all 'American Apple Pie.'"

Does Trump even know the song "American Pie?" And who is the "they." Students? Universities? Democrats?

"Harvard is a threat to democracy..."

Harvard is a bastion of democracy. They're fighting for it right now by opposing you.

"... with a lawyer, who represents me, who should therefore be forced to resign, immediately, or be fired."

The lawyer in question is William Burck, representing Harvard in their lawsuit against the Trump administration. That must really be driving him nuts, as it seems every day. Getting closer to having Trump declared legally insane minute by minute.

Trump seems to very confused about Burck. A client always has the ability to fire a lawyer. Why does he need to "be forced to resign?"

"He's not that good, anyway, and I hope my very big and beautiful company, now run by my sons, gets rid of him ASAP!"

If he wasn't that good, why did you hire him? Don't you always have the best people? You claim it all the time. Big beautiful company. He talks about it just like he talks about beautiful clean coal.

Eric Trump confirmed that Burck had parted ways with the Trump Organization. Burck is a well known conservative attorney Trump just brought on board in January. He, along with Robert Hur, who as a special counsel investigating Biden's retention of classified documents called the President a "elderly man with a poor memory," are representing Harvard. These two are hardly left wing lunatics.

Maybe Trump is seeing some writing on the wall. He thought getting all those law firms to surrender was the end of it, but four firms aren't capitulating. Now one of his own lawyers took on a case where he thinks Trump is wrong. May more follow suit. Maybe the law firms that caved will change their minds. Do it now before Trump has you representing Jan. 6th criminals for new crimes they commit.

Harvard has the law and good conservative attorneys on their side. Not crying liberal lunatics, as Trump would say.

Like the law firms that are fighting back, other colleges and universities should take Harvard as an example. Keep your affirmative action programs in place and tell SCOTUS no. Keep your DEI programs in place and prove it is not discrimination. Don't let your teaching be corrupted by unintelligent bigots.

The time to fight is now. Bullies give up when confronted with a fighter. And a bully is all Trump is.
