According to inside sources, former President Donald Trump has expressed determination to crack down on college campus protests if he were to return to the White House. In a private roundtable event with donors in New York earlier this month, Trump reportedly promised to deport anyone who protests against his policies, particularly those in support of the Palestinian cause.
The donors, who spoke to The Washington Post, revealed that Trump declared, "One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country...You know, there are a lot of foreign students. As soon as they hear that, they're going to behave." Trump sees this as a way to control student activism on college campuses and ensure that his administration's agenda is not challenged.
Pro-Palestinian protesters, who have been vocal in their support for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Israel, have been targeted by Trump's comments. He sees them as part of a "radical movement" that he aims to defeat if he were to be reelected. This sentiment was echoed by a donor who expressed concern over pro-Palestinian students and professors possibly holding government positions in the future. Trump responded by saying, "Well, if you get me elected, and you should really be doing this, if you get me reelected, we're going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years."
During the private event, Trump also praised the New York police for their handling of protests at Columbia University and called for similar demonstrations in other cities to be "stopped now." According to sources, he joked that the group of donors present at the event included "98% of my Jewish friends."
Although in public, Trump has been indecisive about the ongoing conflict in Gaza, in this private meeting he made it clear that he stands with Israel in "its war on terror." The Trump campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment on this report.
Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt, the campaign's national press secretary, told The Post, "When President Trump is back in the Oval Office, Israel will once again be protected, Iran will go back to being broke, terrorists will be hunted down, and the bloodshed will end." Trump has been spending a lot of time in New York, where his ongoing criminal trial is set to have closing arguments on Monday. He recently held a rally in the Bronx, where he continued to attack migrants and accused them of "giving America the middle finger."
