U.S. President, Donald Trump has escalated his standoff with Harvard University, calling the prestigious institution a “joke” and unworthy of federal funding.
The latest attack is part of Trump’s broader campaign against elite educational institutions, which he accuses of promoting “hate” and “stupidity.” Harvard, unlike several other universities, has pushed back against White House efforts to impose sweeping government oversight.
“Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning and should not be listed among the world’s great universities or colleges,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
