Why the hell is Trump trying to destroy Harvard? His purported reason is that they haven't done enough to suppress antisemitism on campus. Of course that is bullshit. Just another of Trump's continuous string of lies.
Does Harvard have some problems? Name one institution that doesn't have some. Are some Jewish students feeling uncomfortable on campus? Well of course. Jews have faced prejudice for millennia. They may be facing more now because of the current war in Gaza. I deplore antisemitism, but I also deplore Israel's current actions in Gaza.
Antisemitism is not a justification for the multiple actions Trump is taking against Harvard. What is Trump really trying to accomplish by going after Harvard? My guess he wants to show Harvard (and all of us and the world) that he has power over everyone and everything. Harvard is a widely respected institution and Trump wants to make sure that even they have to kneel to him. He really does want to be king of the world.
Higher education in the U.S. is the envy of the world. Many of the worlds best scholars and researchers want to work at Harvard. The most talented students from around the world want to study at Harvard. Harvard is a power house of research and an engine of academic advancement. Harvard's affect on the economy and health of the world is tremendous.
Yet Trump seems to relish the idea of destroying the institution and its on-going research. He wants to make Harvard less appealing to foreign researchers and students.
Why is he doing this? If Trump destroys Harvard or brings the institution to its knees, will antisemitism be decreased? I don't think so.
The fact that Trump is trying to destroy for no valid reason just shows how significant his mental decline is.
