Donald Trump wants to know who exactly Harvard’s international students are—and why the countries they hail from aren’t paying up.
Trump claimed the Ivy League university has not been forthcoming about how much of its student body international students make up in an early-morning screed on Sunday.
“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to,“ Trump wrote.
pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to,“ Trump wrote.
???
Universities with high (undergrad) international student populations usually do so because they charge international students higher tuition than local students.
As for grad students, that’s a way to import high-skill workers and also grad students typically are highly underpaid for the kind of work they do while working towards their degree.
Mike Hawk.
Hugh Jass.
Here are the names:
I demand Trump be incarcerated
It’s long past time to start the process of declaring him unfit and removing him from office. He’s not just corrupt and power-hungry and deceitful - he’s dangerously unhinged.
The authority of the Presidency cannot be left in the hands of somebody who is, as he so plainly is, profoundly mentally ill.
as he so plainly is, profoundly mentally ill.
Not only that, but really really stupid.
Like… Extremely fucking stupid.
Do you know who has to make that declaration? Per the 25th Amendment:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
In other words, the people who would have to invoke the 25th and declare him unfit, are the very Project 2025 graduates in his cabinet that are already pulling his strings and getting everything they want.
So?
Unless you want to argue that their likely refusal to carry out their sworn duties somehow frees them from any obligation to do so, that’s entirely irrelevant.
Since they do in fact continue to have that obligation in spite of their likely refusal, it’s just that much more important that we point that out as often and as loudly as possible.
It doesn’t matter how edgy and cynical you are while you bend over to let them fuck you - you’re still letting them.
Tell me one person in power willing to do that. Hint: there are none or it would have already happened.
Which makes the fact that he’s clearly deranged and thus self-evidently unfit for office that much more significant, and it’s that much more important that it be reiterated atvevery opportunity.

All that plus butthurt.
I think that’s actually the foundation for his mental illness. He really is, emotionally, a child, and fitting his childish emotional development to the realities of an adult world has so warped his perception of reality that he really is, by any appropriate measure, delusional and deranged.
What a dumb shit. At my school, it was well-known that international students were essentially subsidizing the domestic students and scholarship funds because they paid higher tuition without the benefit of student aid.
They all have student visas, one would think the govt has that information. I wonder if Chainsaw Musk broke that system
They’re so incompetent, they don’t know how to check.
The point is to get the institutions to do it and show nowhere is safe.
Yeah, definitely sounds like some show of superiority
Intimidation or domination. Same way they want undocumented people to “self-deport” or when the cop tells you to read him the info on your driver license even though he’s perfectly capable of doing it himself.
They should send Big Balls and the Geek Squad over there to do some sql queries.
Those guys haven’t been able to figure out what any of the data they’re scraping even means. They’d probably come back saying that Harvard is enrolling pets, and charging 5x the tuition for them.
Lol the real reason he wants to know who they are is because doge fucked up the whole system and they have no idea whose on a visa and who isn’t.
Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised. Don’t treat this as factual. It’s a hypothetical.
Totally normal presidential behavior.
Totally demonstrative of a president upholding and protecting the constitution, and the First Amendment in particular.
In his defense, he’s never actually read it. It has barely any pictures.
Attention to Detail, and Donald Trump are mutually exclusive.
…yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to…
I think you just answered your own question numbnuts… We take them in because it means highly educated people for the US and less for our enemies.
I’m confused why the students’ countries need to pay if the students themselves are paying.
What he means is that those countries are not paying the individual Donald trump for the privilege. Its always grift with the guy
The fucker doesn’t understand the complexities of foreign student tuition tables, he bankrupted casinos.
I hope Harvard tells him to fuck himself so hard his asshole envelops himself & he disappears into his own asshole.
Holeception. He must envelope deeper!
Wait, isn’t this how black holes start, by folding in on themselves?
It’s probably for the best.
Sounds like they want this information, so that those students can be used as hostages / leverage against their countries of origin.
Nah, it’s trying to show they’re superior.
Why wouldn’t the government know who those students are, it’s them issuing the visas.
Cause it’s a private school ya bag o’ shit!
