President Donald Trump is proving that he’s not like his predecessor, and will not put up with “illegal protests” on college campuses under his watch.
In a Truth Social post published Tuesday morning, Trump vowed to cut all federal funding for any establishment of higher learning that allows “illegal protests” to take place on their campus.
Look:
“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the president wrote.
For many, this calls to mind the anti-Israel protests that occurred at many major universities resulting in lockdowns, students and activists taking over buildings, and Jewish students feeling unsafe at their own schools.
This comes after an announcement that nearly $51.4 million in contracts between the U.S. government and Columbia University, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. citing the college’s inability to get a handle on anti-Semitic protests.
“In recent years, the censorship and false narratives of woke cancel culture have transformed our great universities into greenhouses for this deadly and virulent pestilence,” he said. “Making America healthy means building communities of trust and mutual respect, based on speech freedom and open debate.”

These are excellent steps, and implementing them earlier would have been even more beneficial. Taking proactive measures like these ensures a smoother process and better outcomes. Well done!

It will be the best education you could give to those campuses.
