One of the first attacks by Donald Trump, very shortly after he took on the job of president of these United States were the attacks he made against Harvard University, Columbia University and who else?
Interesting the side issues to that – in the background – the woman who was out front, Elise Stefanik, lost her job as Ambassador to the United Nations before she got a chance to be sworn in. She was front and center trying to take down the female presidents of some of our best universities. Had to do with Trump’s gratitude to those who prostrate themselves to him?
Go back into recent history and take a look at what happened with Trump University! There are many articles which have researched this topic. One is https://www.americanprogress.org/article/trump-university-look-enduring-education-scandal/
The above article mentions Columbia Business School. It says “Columbia Business School made clear that “individual faculty” helped develop early programs but have nothing to do with the real estate program that became the heart of Trump University”. In a statement provided by the university, Don Sexton, a professor at the business school, said, “If the allegations are true, then they took something that was designed to help struggling small business owners and corrupted it.”32“
That does answer some questions as to why Trump went after Columbia University.
Thousands of students paid between approximately $10,000 and $35,000 to attend this University founded by Donald Trump and from which he benefitted at a time when it looks as though he was having tough financial difficulties. Those who were trying to gain an education and better themselves paid the price for his next step up. Some of these articles claim Trump was paid a sum for each student who signed up for the very abbreviated learning they received.
The lawsuit itself resulted in a $25 million dollar settlement against Trump! It is claimed, Trump did not pay that settlement, someone else paid for him and he continued life as usual.
Trump had to do a lot of explaining during his first run for president. During this second run it was almost not mentioned and after he was installed as president and went after Columbia University and others there was barely any reporting in the media showing the relationship between what happened then and the possibility that what substantial universities are now having to deal with that Donald Trump, president is foisting on them is RETALIATION.
Read about Trump University and you will see that the schools attacked by Trump seem to have been attacked because of Trump University.

Trump University was never an actual University despite calling itself such and Donald Trump owned 93% of the LLC. The lawsuits filed claimed “racketeering” amongst other claims. New York State Department of Education forced a name change from University to whatever else. – and now Trump is trying to close down the Federal Department of Education. Does one have anything to do with the other?
Trump University was also sued by the state of Texas for engaging in false, misleading and deceptive practices.
Many of the people now involved running the United States government at the highest level are talked about as you read what happened with Trump University. Pam Bondi – currently one at the top of the U. S. Government is one of those people. She was then Florida’s Attorney General.
From 1973 through 2016 Donald Trump was involved in over 4,000 cases. Giving a different look at why he is now pressuring law firms and receiving free future legal help.
Northwestern University was involved in all of this. Trump publicly claimed that major universities supported his institution and he named Northwestern University, Stanford and Columbia. All three denied that they had any involvement. Northwestern said Trump’s claim “apparently involves a former professor here named Roger Schank. He retired from Northwestern in about 1998. We do not have any information regarding any subsequent affiliation he may have had with Trump University.”31 And so, Northwestern University was listed wherever Trump keeps his list of grievances against people and institutions and when he had the chance he did what he could to malign them and attempted to make their lives difficult.
This could go on for pages. However, if you want to know more, it is readily available on your computer, simply search for Trump University, Donald Trump, etc. and you will find enough to read that will make you need a bath at the end of your readings. It is putrid to see so much about someone who is now president of these United States. We wonder if those who voted for him don’t also feel as though they need a good cleansing.
We see where this comes from and where it is going. When you read about the latest Trump horror story where he and Elon Musk took Maya Angelou’s book out of the military libraries and left Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler in the library for our military people to read it brings back the divorce statements when Trump and Ivanka Trump divorced where she told the court Trump kept Adolf Hitler’s writings on his bedside table. Most of us keep the bible in that spot. It certainly explains Trump and Musk’s relationship and Trump’s life story. Doesn’t Musk come from a wealthy South African family?
Dear God, we are trying very hard to keep your commandments and to reach out to those being misled and walking an evil path. Don’t know if our efforts are successful, but we will keep praying, believing and walking and doing according to your will. Please look at what is happening in this world and bring about your justice, your peace, your reconciliation. So many people’s lives are being destroyed because of one man’s ambitions with the help of so many more who have let greed and power obtained on the backs of others blind them to what they are doing. Opportunities many being so seriously hurt have worked hard to achieve for themselves and their families and those opportunities are being taken away from them in the ugliest and most vicious of ways. Your hand is needed more than ever in this morass of lies, cheating, stealing, and so much more. Help us all, dear Lord.
