President Donald Trump and his Republican allies repeatedly lament that college and university campuses are hotbeds for liberal indoctrination, political correctness, and so-called "cancel culture."

Some of the universities' offenses include not allowing Nazis to give speeches to their students, teaching comprehensively about structural racism, and taking steps to make their student body more reflective of the nation.


The President took to Twitter on Friday, accusing universities of prioritizing "Radical Left Indoctrination" over substantive education.


The President knows a thing or two about universities.

He launched Trump University in 2005. Initially, the program was based online before expanding to in-person teaching on real estate investment.

In advertising materials, Trump boasted:

"I can turn anyone into a successful real estate investor, including you."

Students began spending thousands of dollars for classes they would later describe as useless, and some eventually filed a class action lawsuit accusing Trump of fraud, false advertisement, and racketeering.

A federal judge—whom Trump said was biased because of his Mexican heritage—approved the payment of a $25 million settlement from Trump to thousands of students.

People remembered this when Trump accused universities of not prioritizing education.







IRC Section 501(c)(3) allows tax exemptions for most universities and colleges due to their educational purposes, but Trump threatened to reexamine that status based on what he perceives to be "Radical Left Indoctrination."

That claim didn't go over well.




According to Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works, anti-intellectualism is crucial for upholding fascist ideologies.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
