Trump criticises ‘radical left extremists’ causing disorder on college campuses across the country
Former President Trump has spoken out against the anti-Israel protests happening on college campuses across the nation, labeling the demonstrators as “radical left lunatics” who are promoting antisemitism. Trump made these remarks outside a Manhattan courtroom where he is currently standing trial.
The protests, which have been escalating in recent weeks, have seen student agitators taking over buildings and demanding that elite schools divest from Israel. Groups associated with far-left organizations, including the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), have been heavily involved in these demonstrations.
Trump praised law enforcement officers for their efforts in clearing the protests at Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall and UCLA, emphasizing that the radical left, not conservatives, are the ones behind the chaos on campuses. The former president also addressed the ongoing trial against him, which focuses on allegations that his former personal attorney paid off Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair.
As the trial continues, Trump remains defiant in the face of the accusations against him, maintaining his innocence. The situation is ongoing, with tensions running high both in the courtroom and on college campuses where protests continue to unfold.
This morning President Trump weighed in on the ongoing anti-Israel protests across the nation, including those at UCLA (with Gavin Newsom as governor).
