The Trump administration's feud with major American universities escalated this week as a federal antisemitism task force notified Harvard that $450 million of the school’s research grants are being cut. That’s on top of the $2.2 billion it had previously frozen. Laura Barrón-López spoke with one of the affected researchers, Joan Brugge, director of Harvard’s Ludwig Cancer Center. - Aired on 05/17/2025.

1. "General Well Being of the United States"

Not even on the Republican parties radar. Trump, petulance is thy name.

CANCER RESEARCH UNNECESSARILY CUT BY REPUBLICANS because very smart people disagree with the leader of the Republican Party, who has zero marketable skills.

3. He never ran to improve the lives of the American people, as most presidents do

He originally ran looking for campaign donations after all his business ventures failed and he discovered that the power of the presidency was the ultimate grift.

4. And said grift

Is currently not being well received by Walmart which was a tidy Mom and Pop back in the 60s. Imagine Wal By God Mart being given advice by the poster boy of business failure. Accept my tariffs, eat them, praise them. Or what? Pam Bondi (a total disgrace) will sue you for wanting to make a profit and put people to work in a capitalistic system? Or doing away with FEMA at the eve of hurricane season. Trump. Failure of a human being is the definition of you.

5. Exactly! All his businesses failed and now he's attempting to control the largest economy in the world

Which is yielding the same results. As for Bondi, the justice system is no longer independent, all her decisions are meant to support and help TFG, no matter how obviously prejudiced in his favor.
