President Donald Trump blasted “strongly antisemitic Harvard University” on Monday night, saying that he would be seeking “$1 billion in damages” from the Ivy League university. The president made the revelation in a Truth Social post in response to a New York Times report that claimed the Trump administration had halted its “demand for a $200 million payment to the government in hopes of finally resolving the administration’s conflicts with the university.”
“Strongly Antisemitic Harvard University has been feeding a lot of ‘nonsense’ to The Failing New York Times,” said Trump. “Harvard has been, for a long time, behaving very badly! They wanted to do a convoluted job training concept, but it was turned down in that it was wholly inadequate and would not have been, in our opinion, successful.”
“It was merely a way of Harvard getting out of a large cash settlement of more than 500 Million Dollars, a number that should be much higher for the serious and heinous illegalities that they have committed,” Trump added. “This should be a Criminal, not Civil, event, and Harvard will have to live with the consequences of their wrongdoings. In any event, this case will continue until justice is served.”
Regarding the Times report that his administration backtracked on its demand for the $200 million, Trump called the story “completely wrong.”
“The Failing New York Times story was completely wrong concerning Harvard University,” Trump said in a separate Truth Social post.
The president criticized the New York Times for publishing the story and demanded an edit to reflect Trump’s version of the events. He also criticized the newspaper for having incorrect polls and erroneous election predictions. He said the outlet’s news coverage of his presidential administration is “so purposely wrong.”

“I hereby demand that the morons that run (into the ground!) the Times’ change their story, immediately,” said the president. “SEE TRUTH BELOW! Also, just like their incorrectly called (by the Times!) Election results, where they got it ALL WRONG, my Poll Numbers are Great!”
“The New York Times coverage of me is so purposely wrong,” Trump said. “We will soon see how I do in my lawsuit against these fraudsters! FAKE NEWS!”
