US President Donald Trump called Harvard University “a threat to Democracy” and a “liberal mess” on Thursday, amid his administration’s ongoing battle with the university after it defied orders from the White House, APA reports citing Politico.
Harvard has become Trump’s main target for his administration’s campaign to pressure powerful institutions — from major law firms to elite colleges and universities — to fall in line with the White House’s agenda. In recent months, the Trump administration has frozen billions of dollars in federal funding and launched investigative probes into American universities over allegations of antisemitism on campuses.
“Harvard is an Anti-Semitic, Far Left Institution, as are numerous others, with students being accepted from all over the World that want to rip our Country apart,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social on Thursday.
He added: “The place is a Liberal mess, allowing a certain group of crazed lunatics to enter and exit the classroom and spew fake ANGER AND HATE. It is truly horrific! Now, since our filings began, they act like they are all ‘American Apple Pie.’”
Trump’s social media tirade also takes aim at Harvard’s legal counsel — which includes an attorney with strong ties to Trump.
“Harvard is a threat to Democracy, with a lawyer, who represents me, who should therefore be forced to resign, immediately, or be fired,” Trump wrote, seemingly referencing William Burck. “He’s not that good, anyway, and I hope that my very big and beautiful company, now run by my sons, gets rid of him ASAP!”
