More from the article ...

... Trump made his comments on his Truth Social platform, though it was not immediately clear what Trump meant, as international students are required to have student visas provided by the State Department, the records of which his administration would be able to access.

After students arrive in the United States, their status is then monitored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which tracks such students through its Student and Exchange Visitor Information System database. Universities are legally required to update this federal database regularly.

"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 education, nor do they ever intend to," Trump said. ...

@#1 ... "Why isn't Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from foreign lands ...

Why isn't Pres Trump saying that he apparently does not appear to have a clue about how foreign student visas work?

@#3 ... Baron Trump was rejected from Harvard. ...

Got a link?

@#6

thx.

My current view is not that Pres Trump seems to be targeting Harvard because of the reason in #3.

Pres Trump targeting Harvard is far more serious than that.

His comments seem to indicate he want to take over Harvard, so that Harvard does his bidding.

imo, that is an egregious attempt in the extension of Executive Powers.

@#10 ... Trump's actions tend to be personal. ...

For the most part, I agree.

But in tis instance, I'm not yet convinced of the reason why Pres Trump seems to be targeting Harvard.

... I don't believe Harvard will bow to a wannabe King Trump. ...

I agree.

But, I will also add, if Harvard ever succumbs, it will not be a good day for the Constitutionb.

@#12 ... Other than exposing the Constitution as having a major, fundamental flaw? ...

What flaw is that?

But to the point of the question ...

If Harvard just gives up and succumbs to Pres Trump's dicta, i.e., effectively allowing Pres Trump to take over and lead Harvard, that is the issue I see.

Regarding succumbing to Pres Trump's demands ...

What Pres Trump seems to need ... ?
