Trump considering taking $3 billion in Harvard grants, giving them to trade schools

[DigitalDrifter]

This would be awesome if Trump could pull this off.
I would much rather see the money going to fund future plumbers and electricians, than funding and indoctrinating future America and western-hating leftists.

• Summary

• Harvard has said the sudden funding cuts are unconstitutional
• Most of the funding is for biomedical research, not usually done at trade schools

WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he is considering taking $3 billion of previously awarded grant money for scientific and engineering research away from Harvard University and giving it to trade schools.
His comments on his social media platform Truth Social come less than a week after his administration sought to block the Ivy League school from enrolling foreign students as part of Trump's extraordinary effort to seize some government control of U.S. academia.

Wow. Apparently, in MAGAmerica, science and engineering are bad.

There are engineering trade schools.

There are engineering trade schools.

They do not do research.

They do not do research.

Given China's crumbling buildings what they learned in Haaarvard did not do them any good.

So unless they indoctrinate kids with right-wing bs and fake Christian nationalism, then the president can try cutting off funding. Digita Drifter doesn't understand just how much the export of American education creates for this economy. So Trump wants the best and brightest in the world to go to Oxford, Cambridge, the University of Beijing, etc.

Trump is confused because he is mad, insane.

Trade-schools are not centers of indoctrination. They teach REAL world skills that we will always need.

Interesting that you immediately bring up Muslims, when I bring up western-haters. Glad you're getting on board.

I am sure you wish you could say Muslim.

Like how to cut off fingers while at work and horseplay is fun.

I don't have a problem saying it, Islamists are indeed western-hating pieces of shit.

I took woodworking and built a storage cabinet in 8th grade...I kept it until the house fire destroyed it in 2024...

Ok, whatever floats yer turds.

By that logic, apparently, in DemAmerica, welding, plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, construction, cosmetology, barbering/hairstyling, culinary arts, commercial art, HVAC repair, wind turbine maintenance, masonry, dental hygene, veteranary assistance, IT technical work, surveying, massage therapy, radiologic technology, laboratory assisting, metal fabrication, pipe fitting, jewelry smithing, diesel fitting, automotive mechanics, aaaaaand heavy machine operation are all bad?

Of course they are. Those are the kind of Americans the modern Democratic Party disdains. They should shut up, pay a huge percent of their wages as taxes, and not complain when an illegal alien displaces them.

I sure hope the Dems keep that as their platform, and don't "pivot" i.e. pretend to care about typical Americans, just so they can get back in power and screw those people over again.

Same shit happened during Raygun and Boosh sr and it slowed under Clintoon but it was a bum rush in the Boosh jr era...Don't give me yer bullshit propaganda that only the dems have done it. I was in the business of masonry from 1978-2001 in the era of Bush we white tradesmen were sold out. We remembered, though, and after they left in 2009 and we made a comeback. I charged those guilty of selling us out double the normal charge.

They do not do research.

Harvard isn't the only research school in America. Maybe they should keep in their lane and educate instead of committing hate crimes against people because of their religion and ethnicity.
