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.

    So?

    Unless you want to argue that their likely refusal to carry out their sworn duties somehow frees them from any obligation to do so, that’s entirely irrelevant.

    Since they do in fact continue to have that obligation in spite of their likely refusal, it’s just that much more important that we point that out as often and as loudly as possible.

    It doesn’t matter how edgy and cynical you are while you bend over to let them fuck you - you’re still letting them.
