The president made the request in a social media post May 25, the latest in an ongoing battle between his administration and the Ivy League university.

He made the request in a Truth Social post May 25, days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s effort to bar the university from enrolling anyone in the United States on a student visa.

“We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming,” Trump wrote. “We want those names and countries.” trump-anguish

    It’s not exactly - cough - breaking news but holy mother of fuck is the US media garbage. USA Today’s reportage is dictation that normalizes this shit.

    Trump didn’t immediately say how the federal government would use that information, or which part of his administration would manage such lists. USA TODAY has reached out to the White House for more information.

      What the fuck do they think he’s going to do with the information? Send gift baskets to their dorm rooms welcoming them to the United States?
