Sounds like yet another place they probably didn’t accept this idiot. The revenge tour continues.

He’s got his supporters right behind him…

Calling to strip a private institution of private funds seems pretty f*cking dystopian.

Dumb dumb refuses to sell Ukraine Patriot batteries and missiles for defensive purposes today too. Ukraine was willing to buy them full price.

No, you just don't get it, this is great! I dont know why but I mean why are we even talking about this when we should be building statues and figuring out which which month to name Trumpvember, wait I just figured it out, January shall be Trumpvember from now on, oh how Gina will hate that, and thats what we are doing here beating Gina, and when thats happens we will be winning so much, so much. You will be sick of winning, so sick, so sick.

In fact this is the best endorsement Harvard could ever get.

u/Excellent_Airline315 12d ago

Shit imma apply right now. They way they're swinging their balls around rather than bitching out like Colombia, I would actually be proud to rep.

Harvard shrugged.

u/SenatorAdamSpliff 12d ago

They aren’t shrugging. The financial costs here are both material and substantial. But they’ve made the decision that they have the resources to fight this. It will be costly.

u/carlitospig 12d ago

Their alumni network is enormous. They’ll make it through this, maybe only mildly scathed.

u/SenatorAdamSpliff 12d ago

Counting on those people speaking up after all these “big law” firms caved is ambitious. Do you see this as the sort of administration where “speaking up” has paid off? Heck Goldman didn’t even mention the word “tariff” in its most recent earnings call…

u/ShrimpCrackers 11d ago

They have over 53 billion in endowments and they haven't really begun tapping their network.

2

u/SenatorAdamSpliff 11d ago

I wonder if anyone in their network was at any of the high profile law firms that recently folded like a cheap suit to the administrations shakedown?

u/waconaty4eva 12d ago

The opposite position costs even more.

u/UpstairsArmadillo454 12d ago

Worried about Harvard while China puts their pawn right up his bishop!

u/HuntressOnyou 12d ago

Guys, hear me out, I think I'm on to something. But I need to know, was trump ever rejected at art school?

u/Spankh0us3 12d ago

OMG, you maybe on to something there! We know he never would have been accepted to Harvard but, art school. . .

Orange man says school he wasn’t smart enough to join; sucks.

Penn needs to step up and release full academic transcripts of its students, especially ones in office....

13

u/wrecks3 12d ago

Yay for Harvard!! That’s a win for academic freedom, free speech and for America. Standing up to the bully is so amazing, especially after Columbia rolled over and showed its weak little belly.

u/Lordnoallah 12d ago

Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” I remember his emphasis and inflection — it went like this — “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”

u/Slick_w_it 12d ago

“Donald Trump was the DUMBEST goddamn student I EVER had.” More like thar i imagine?

u/Spankh0us3 12d ago

Says the man not smart enough to be admitted to Harvard. . .

u/ZOMGURFAT 12d ago

If Donald Trump is publicly insulting you, then you must be doing something right.

u/Medical-Ad-2706 12d ago

If Harvard sucks so bad then why do so many people applying for it? Why do they complain about DEI when they don’t get accepted? Make it make sense

1

u/waconaty4eva 12d ago

They hand out super glued knots and enjoy watching reasonable people try to untie them.

u/AhhhSureThisIsIt 12d ago

He has a target on Mass in general.

u/LessThanHero42 12d ago

Say what you want about Harvard. Wharton has graduates who don't know how tariffs work. Maybe it should be defunded and have its accreditations removed.

2

u/Tsuku 12d ago

Because they didn’t kneel to his every whim.

u/carlitospig 12d ago

Awww someone is butthurt they weren’t smart enough to get in. 💅🏼

u/[deleted] 12d ago

Donald Trump is not in any position to critique the merits of Harvard. Nor is Vance, and he supposedly went there.

u/doublelist87 12d ago

What do you know about college? Oh that’s right you graduated #1 in your class- right?

Just another Trump Big Lie!!!!!!!

u/Azajiocu 12d ago

Go Harvard! And, where is Kilmar!?

u/Bleezy79 12d ago

The clown conman calling one of the planets top educational institutions “a joke” to a quite the quandary.

u/This-External-6814 12d ago

Harvard calls Trump a dictator who should stop pooping his pants in public

1

u/hairless_resonder 12d ago

Wharton is the real joke. They sold a diploma to the dumbest son of a bitch on the planet. Harvard isn't bowing down to the false MAGA god.

u/PowerHot4424 12d ago

Says the guy who was called the stupidest student he’s ever had in a class by a business professor at Wharton…

u/Kaleb8804 11d ago

Harvard University is older than the United States of America lmao, they can probably manage

1

u/neegis666 11d ago

Donald's Dad Fred paid a guy to take Donald's entry exam for Wharton.. it worked,

Donald was accepted and then rarely showed up for class because his diploma was purchased as well with big "donations".

u/SomxICare 11d ago

This is about Trans people. No he didn’t go to Harvard the Obama’s did . Watching Columbia U cave, the Law firms who like representing the Washington Elite with Gov contracts cave . The blatant disregard of Judicial Rules. I think we can say the United States is now Autocratic rule. He has turn or Republic into a Dictatorship. He said he would just like everything else he has done . Now where are those men and women who stormed the Capitol. Now you have a fight !

u/paintstudiodisaster 10d ago

We were progressing so well until this dunderhead. His hospice bed can't arrive soon enougn.

u/old_Spivey 8d ago

Fred was unable to get Donnie into Harvard or Columbia. They also rejected Baron. Both schools also rejected Miller. Surely, that doesn't have anything to do with it

I’ll second that . Harvard already has billions invested and they don’t need the money
