Trump is not playing games with Harvard and they finally understand it.
Former President Donald Trump is taking aim at Harvard University again—this time demanding full transparency over its ballooning population of foreign students and the billions it receives from U.S. taxpayers.
In a fiery message on Sunday, President Trump questioned how one of America’s most elite universities can accept massive federal funding while prioritizing students from foreign nations—some of which are openly hostile to the United States.
“Why isn’t Harvard telling the American people that nearly 31% of its students come from foreign countries—many of which are NOT allies—and yet these nations pay NOTHING toward their education?” Trump wrote.
He continued:
“Nobody told us that! We deserve to know WHO these foreign students are, and WHERE they’re coming from. Harvard gets billions of taxpayer dollars. They owe us answers.”
Foreign Students Fill Classrooms While Americans Get Sidelined
According to Harvard’s own data, the university enrolled over 6,800 international students during the 2024–2025 academic year—making up roughly 27% of its student body.
Harvard claims these students pay full tuition, but critics argue the school’s priority is no longer American families, especially as federal funding keeps pouring in. U.S. taxpayers are essentially subsidizing an institution that favors global interests over national ones.
Despite its $52 billion endowment, Harvard still accepts federal research grants and taxpayer money. President Trump’s message is clear: stop asking the government for more and start answering to the American people.
Trump: “Harvard Must Disclose Names and Countries”
President Trump is now demanding a list of which countries these students come from. He says the public has a right to know whether Harvard is inviting in students from nations that undermine American values, security, and sovereignty.
“Use your $52 billion endowment,” Trump said. “Stop begging for taxpayer grants while hiding who you’re really serving.”
This push for accountability comes amid broader concerns about foreign influence in U.S. universities, especially those that continue to promote leftist ideology, support radical campus protests, and resist efforts to eliminate divisive diversity policies.
Trump vs. Harvard: The Battle Over Campus Culture and Taxpayer Dollars
Harvard is currently suing the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security attempted to limit its ability to enroll foreign students. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the move, but the legal fight is far from over.
At the center of the dispute is not just who gets to attend Harvard, but whether elite universities can accept billions in public funds while defying the values of the American majority.
Trump’s supporters argue that now is the time to put American students first, cut the flow of taxpayer money to institutions that serve globalist interests, and demand real transparency.
Why This Matters for American Taxpayers
- Harvard is the richest university in the world, yet it still relies on your tax dollars.
- Over one-quarter of its students are foreign nationals.
- These foreign students may come from nations that don’t share American values or interests.
- Meanwhile, thousands of qualified U.S. students are left behind.
✅ Bottom Line: It’s Time to Put America First in Higher Education
President Trump is once again doing what few leaders dare—standing up to the powerful elites in academia who operate with little accountability.
American taxpayers deserve answers. American students deserve priority. And Harvard needs to choose: either serve U.S. interests or stop accepting U.S. dollars.
