President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday that Harvard’s tax-exempt status will be removed.
The president did not provide details on the timing of the decision, declaring it was “what they deserve.”
“We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!” he posted.
Trump wrote last month that Harvard has “lost its way” one day after his administration froze $2.2 billion in federal funds over the university’s refusal to comply with efforts to stop antisemitism.
The president shared the statement on his Truth Social account on April 16, following the controversy between Harvard and the Trump administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism.
“Everyone knows that Harvard has “lost its way.” They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to “teach” municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil,” Trump began.
Trump also criticized Harvard’s former president and the school’s handling of criticism surrounding her.
“Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and ‘birdbrains’ who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called ‘future leaders.’ Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress,” he continued.
“When it got so bad that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place,” the president stated.
Trump referred to Harvard as a “joke,” claiming it should no longer be listed among the world’s great colleges.
“Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he concluded.
