  1. Trump's Commitment to Addressing Campus Radicalization:

    • Donald Trump, during his campaign and presidency, promised to hold universities accountable for not stopping anti-Semitic and violent protests.
    • He specifically targeted Columbia University, which faced significant anti-Semitic protests following Hamas's attack on Israel.
  2. #FederalFunding Cuts:

    • The Trump administration announced the rescission of over $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University due to its failure to address rising anti-Semitism on campus.
    • A comprehensive review of more than $5 billion in federal grant money to Columbia is underway, with potential for further cuts.
  3. #ICE Arrests and Deportations:

    • Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a pro-Palestinian activist at Columbia University, with plans to revoke visas and deport individuals involved in violent protests.
    • Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the administration would revoke visas and green cards of Hamas supporters in the U.S.
  4. Economic Policies and Job Market Impact:

    • The Trump administration's policies have led to an increase in job gains for native-born Americans and a decrease in employment for foreign-born workers.
    • Trump emphasized the importance of putting Americans first in the job market, contrasting his policies with those of the Biden administration.
  5. #Greenland Proposal:

    • Trump reiterated his interest in Greenland, proposing to invest billions and create new jobs if Greenlanders chose to join the United States.
    • The proposal faced resistance from Greenland's Prime Minister, but Trump remained focused on the strategic importance of Greenland.
