Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Interest in studying abroad skyrocketed since Dummkopf Trumpf's narrow election win in Nov 2024. A growing number of American students are applying to colleges in Europe, the UK, and Asia. Over the past five years the numbers jumped from 50,000 students in 2019 to more than 90,000 in 2024. From Nov 2024 through July 2025, website visits to a consultancy firm for studying abroad doubled from 600,990 to 1,534,929 and strategy calls shot up from 2,215 to 29,373. American student applications to the UK rose 14% this year, the largest increase since this data started to be collected in 2006. The rise can be attributed mostly to costs, but also to the political landscape. Campuses across the US have been rocked by shootings, "Swatting" hoaxes, and Trumpf junta attacks on students protesting the Gaza genocide. Thousands of international student visas have been canceled while the Trumpf junta bullies and threatens universities with defunding.

Exorbitant costs are also a factor. One in six Americans has federal student debt, which now exceeds $1.6 trillion and the sinister Trumpf junta restarted collections on default loans. The median tuition rate in Europe and the UK costs roughly $9,000 per year, while in the US, tuition for a four-year public university averages $11,000 - $30,000. Concomitantly, Forbes reported this summer that US colleges and universities could see their international student enrollment decline by as many as 150,000 students this fall. Simultaneously, American universities are experiencing a brain drain' as academics began leaving the US to lecture in Canada or the UK. Moreover, as American students flock to European colleges, the "Winds of War" are swirling on the continent as Russia continues testing NATO resolve and French hospitals were warned to be ready to treat mass casualties next year. Meanwhile, Barron Trumpf is thoroughly enjoying his prestigious NYU education without a care in the world. This year the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) scion pocketed $20m in occult crypto-currency transactions and the USSS protects him from potential campus shootings.

At the USNA, recently a midshipman was wounded by police responding to a Swatting hoax: www.cnn.com

Between the Trumpf junta, tuition costs, real and phony gunmen on campuses, more American students are looking abroad for college.

Who can blame them?
