President Donald Trump doubled the attack on Harvard University on Wednesday, saying the agency was “a joke.”
Trump spoke on social media on Wednesday after Harvard refused to comply with Department of Education (DOE) requirements to address anti-Semitism and other issues on campus. He also blows up Harvard by hiring former mayors of New York City and Chicago, Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot, respectively.
“These two radical left fools left two cities that took years to recover from incompetence and evil. Harvard employs a “bird brain” that can teach almost all awakened, radical left, idiot, and students about failure, and teach the so-called “future leaders,” Trump writes.
“Look at the recent past to their plagiarist president who was very embarrassed by Harvard before the United States Congress,” he continued. “Like these left-wing dopes, many others teach at Harvard University. So Harvard can no longer even think of a place of study and should not be considered in the list of great universities and universities in the world.

“Perhaps Harvard has lost his tax-free status and is inspired by political, ideological and terrorists, and “if he continues to support/support the disease, he should be taxed as a political entity,” Trump wrote earlier this week.
“Remember that tax-free status is entirely conditional on public interest actions!” the president added.
