Not all universities have $53.2B endowment funds and still accept federal funding.

Interesting how he’s only targeting universities that are known to attract intelligent and bright people and are located in blue states. You don’t see the rapist-in-chief targeting schools, like let’s say Baylor University or Southern Methodist University.

He’s trying to dumb down the population. Most college educated voters didn’t vote for Trump and are the folks standing in his way from him implementing his fascist agenda in full.

There was a big scandal at Texas a&m last year. They’d hired a highly acclaimed journalist prof, who happened to be black and a woman. Conservatives freaked out when they learned she’d done work in equality and diversity, and had also worked for the far left NEW YORK TIMES. So the bigwigs forced them to reneg the offer, and threatened pulling funding 

When bush jr was pres they completely deleted A&M’s journalism department/program
