POISON IVY: President Trump Unloads on Harvard, 'Everyone Knows It Lost Its Way,' Hires 'Leftist Dopes'

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.16.25

President Trump hit TRUTH Social on Wednesday to unload on Harvard, claiming the Ivy League institution has “lost its way.”

Trump also shredded Harvard for for hiring “Leftist dopes” Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot as lecturers — arguing that the Ivy League school’s employment record is proof that it’s a “joke” and should be stripped of federal funds, The Post reports.

Trump’s full post from TRUTH Social below:

Everyone knows that Harvard has “lost its way.” They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to “teach” municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and “birdbrains” who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called “future leaders.” Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

From The New York Post:

The elite Cambridge, Mass., school hired de Blasio as a teaching fellow at the university’s schools of government and public health in 2022 after his Big Apple mayoral term ended.

Meanwhile, Lightfoot — who served as Chicago’s mayor from 2019 to 2023 — was employed as a teaching fellow at the university’s school of public health for the 2023 fall semester.

…

The president’s rant came soon after the federal government revealed it was freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to curtail antisemitism on campus.

In a letter to Harvard last Friday, Trump officials had called for reforms for student discipline policies, as well as changes to its admissions policies.

It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus and stop recognizing some student clubs.

This week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asked why the American taxpayers are subsidizing a university with “billions in the bank already.”
