Donald Trump wants to know who exactly Harvard’s international students are—and why the countries they hail from aren’t paying up.

Trump claimed the Ivy League university has not been forthcoming about how much of its student body international students make up in an early-morning screed on Sunday.

“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to,“ Trump wrote.

            Intimidation or domination. Same way they want undocumented people to “self-deport” or when the cop tells you to read him the info on your driver license even though he’s perfectly capable of doing it himself.

          Those guys haven’t been able to figure out what any of the data they’re scraping even means. They’d probably come back saying that Harvard is enrolling pets, and charging 5x the tuition for them.

      Lol the real reason he wants to know who they are is because doge fucked up the whole system and they have no idea whose on a visa and who isn’t.

      Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised. Don’t treat this as factual. It’s a hypothetical.
