Trump says he's 'taking away' Harvard's tax exempt status

President Donald Trump on Friday said he is "taking away" Harvard's tax exempt status.

"It's what they deserve,” he said in a Truth Social post.

The decision will likely face legal challenges.

Harvard’s president has said revoking the university's tax-exempt status would be unlawful and endanger "our ability to carry out our educational mission."

Trump previously called for Harvard to lose its tax exempt status after the university said it would not comply with the administration's series of demands, including actions on antisemitism and the use of DEI on campus.

Harvard is a For Profit Hedge Fund that has a nominal racist “University” attached to it.

To the left propaganda is education and education is propaganda.

Why did they have a tax break in the first place? A private sectarian institution with a multi-billion dollar endowment.

And they should not be getting any federal money at all, never mind Trump trying to get them to comply with something by withholding what they should not be getting anyway.

And that's just for starters without getting into how they have evolved into a terrorist madrassa.

I’d take tax-exempt status away from everything.

When one looks at the education of our overlords in Congress, you realize that ivy league colleges have done little more than hurt the American people.

“Harvard’s president has said revoking the university’s tax-exempt status would be unlawful and endanger “our ability to carry out our educational mission.””

Harvard has a $60 billion (man, that’s a lot of zeros) endowment. How would the paltry millions they would no longer receive affect their ability to carry outtheir educational mission? Let them figure out how to stay afloat.

Trump should just shut the muzzie RATHOLE down. Turn that area back over to the “muggers, lovers and thieves.” (Or are the “students” the “muggers, lovers and thieves” the Standells were talking about.)

This is very simple. If you want federal funds and federal tax breaks NO POLITICS ALLOWED.

and endanger "our ability to carry out our educational mission."

He/she said that like it's a bad thing. Harvard doesn't seem to have an educational mission; it seems to have an indoctrination mission.
