During a 15 May 2026 interview, the president discussed maintaining foreign enrolment. He argued institutions rely on international tuition.Speaking to Fox News presenter Sean Hannity on 'Hannity', he articulated his perspective.
'But if you don't have those students — good students, by the way — if you don't ... if they're good and they want to stay in America, we won't give them a green card and things like that,' Trump explained…
'Frankly, I think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture, and many of them want to stay here. I think it's a good thing. Not everybody agrees with me, and it doesn't sound like a very conservative position. And I'm as conservative—I'm a conservative guy. I'm really a common sense guy, I think, more than a conservative.'
Trump also suggested that restricting Chinese agricultural investment could damage the market. This economic justification represents a significant departure from isolationist policies…
Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback threatened financial penalties. 'I respect President Trump, but if he brings 500,000 Chinese students to Florida colleges, I will raise tuition on them to $1,000,000 (£744,000)/year,' Fishback wrote.
He emphasised domestic prioritisation. 'As Governor, I refuse to let the limited admission spots at our taxpayer-funded colleges be stolen by foreigners,' he stated.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified the division…
‘And NO it is not ok for China to buy our farmland!!! And no that's not common sense!!!'

Oh noes! ANOTHER MAGA split.....how on earth will we survive it THIS time???
Good grief. SMH
China has arable land that is too polluted to farm, the size of Belgium. Do we really want to bring that garbage here? China views farms and dumps as interchangeable.
Yeah. We’re all going vote demonicRAT now. That’ll learn ‘im!
What concessions did he get from Xi for this?

Then Trump should doing things that he campaigned against.
He should also stop putting his foot in his mouth.
And you don’t have to worry about them voting for Democrats; they’ll just either go third parry, or won’t vote at all.
Because MAGA types expect Democrats to be Democrats. What they don’t expect or desire is for Trump to do things that feel like a betrayal of America First principles.
Nothing excites resentment and anger in politics like betrayal.
“ Yeah. We’re all going vote demonicRAT now. That’ll learn ‘im!”
Correction, That’ll lear ‘im!
With the biggest open border amnesty lover ever, Cesar Conda, advising you and your secretary of state, this is what you should expect..
I want to know why Rubio’s right hand man is still the open border, Mexican owned, immigration lawyer Cesar Conda.
It’s very curious why the swamp media never seems to go after Marco Rubio, even with his recent ties to a convicted traitor who he lived with. I want to hear him say he’s denounced his former positions on immigration, etc.

The media has been picking Republican candidates since Dole. Except for Trump. That’s why they hate him so. What does Trump know about Conda?
Rubio is for Puerto Rican statehood. Is Trump?
Thank you. As the pirate with the peg leg said, I stand corrected.
When they do the biopsy of the American Chinese war. They will find that a crucial aspect of the war was when China sent a million young people calling them students, but they were actually military police and soldiers. When the war started, there were many behind the lines explosions of US military facilities like factories and power plants. Just like the Chinese who bought up the healthcare products like masks and disinfectant before Americans could get it during COVID. The Chinese student army will buy up the ammo and guns. They will plant bombs strategically. All of a sudden those students will be everywhere.
And why are we letting these students in? To give the universities a bit more money. Its just that. We should keep the Chinese students out. And we should just pay the Universities if we have to. China has universities. They aren’t sending their best anymore. They are sending their most loyal. The ones who will act as spies when the time comes.
MAGA is pretty much dead.
As of early 2026, Chinese investors own a very small, marginal fraction of U.S. farmland, amounting to roughly 247,000 to 277,000 acres, which represents less than 0.03% of all privately held U.S. agricultural land. This makes up less than 1% of all foreign-owned land in the U.S.
They bring their ideology with them to incubate, then manifest into our learning centers.
We must eliminate from this hemisphere all communism and marxism of any type whatsoever.
They just won’t vote.
Universities have massive endowments, why are we subsidizing them even further at the expense of American students who lose spots at top universities and have to go to lesser schools, or not at all.
International Business Times is owned by the digital media and technology company IBT Media. IBT Media is a privately held organization originally founded by Etienne Uzac and Johnathan Davis, and is widely reported to be owned by followers of religious leader David Jang.
Who is David Jang:
David Jang is a South Korean professor, Christian theologian, and pastor. He has founded several Christian organizations, including Olivet University in San Francisco, Christian Today headquartered in Korea, Christian Daily Korea, and Christianity Daily in Los Angeles, CA. He served as a member of the North American Council of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) from 2007[1] to 2018,[2][3] the former president of World Olivet Assembly,[4] the founder and first international president of Olivet University,[5][6] and current president of the Holy Bible Society.[who?][7] Jang was also the 88th President of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Korea.[8]
That’ll also lear ‘im. Let’s see him win a third term without their votes.
The title is not wrong.
MAGA is not compatible with flooding the country with Chinese “students”.
And MAGA is not compatible with allowing the ChiComs to buy up US farmland.
Yes, I get that there is a good argument for each.
But they are not MAGA arguments.
