Fox News halted in blow to Trump over Harvard | TV Shows

In an abrupt shift from regular programming, Fox News cut to “breaking news” involving President Donald Trump‘s slip-up during a live broadcast.

In the middle of a press conference where he announced his intent to ban Harvard University from accepting foreign students – a move that a judge has since halted – Trump found himself under fire.

The administration had made bold accusations, suggesting Harvard allowed “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to bully Jewish students and was “coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.”

During the live feed from the White House, a reporter challenged Trump on his motive, asking, “Why do you not want the best and brightest from around the world to come to Harvard?”

As a ticker flashed below reading, “Trump: Tariffs aren’t hurting, they’re helping,” Trump replied, “I do, but a lot of the people need remedial wrath.”

While it’s accurate that Harvard has introduced a remedial math class for first-year students, it’s not specifically targeted at international students but rather those on campus who lack “foundational skills” in geometry and algebra.

The university attributes this to the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, but it’s also worth noting that standardized testing requirements were eliminated, meaning applicants weren’t required to submit SAT or ACT scores with their applications.

The peculiar tirade quickly drew reactions from viewers, with one taking to X to comment, “Trump’s brain is mush.”

Another chimed in, “What is he even talking about?”

A third viewer echoed these sentiments, questioning, “Even if some of what he said is true, what gives him the right to threaten such a prestigious institution? Is it because he – or perhaps his son – couldn’t get in? Sounds a lot like envy to me.”
