Trump Torches Judge Presiding Over Harvard Case: 'A TOTAL DISASTER'

President Donald Trump on Monday blasted the judge presiding over Harvard University’s case against the Trump administration, calling her “a TOTAL DISASTER.”

The Ivy League school and the president’s team squared off in court for the first time Monday before U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs, who poked holes in the government’s rationale for slashing billions in research funding for the university.

“She is a TOTAL DISASTER, which I say even before hearing her Ruling,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “She has systematically taken over the various Harvard cases, and is an automatic ‘loss’ for the People of our Country!”

Trump vowed to continue fighting the case even if Burroughs sides with Harvard.

“When she rules against us, we will IMMEDIATELY appeal, and WIN,” he said.

The president ripped the university, calling it “anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-America.”

He also baselessly claimed that the billions of dollars the government has contributed to Harvard in research funding “had been given without explanation.”

“It is a longtime commitment to Fairness in Funding Education, and the Trump Administration will not stop until there is VICTORY,” he said.

Harvard sued the Trump administration in April, describing the government’s decision to cut billions in grants and federal contracts after the university refused to bow to its demands as “illegal,” and claiming the consequences of the action would be “severe.”

“Research that the government has put in jeopardy includes efforts to improve the prospects of children who survive cancer, to understand at the molecular level how cancer spreads throughout the body, to predict the spread of infectious disease outbreaks, and to ease the pain of soldiers wounded on the battlefield,” its president, Alan Garber, said at the time.

Burroughs, who noted her Jewish faith, on Monday took issue with the Justice Department lawyer’s argument that the government could spend taxpayer money at its discretion, while suggesting that the government’s cuts to Harvard’s funding would do little to advance its said goal of fighting antisemitism.

“You’re not taking away grants from labs that could have been antisemitic, but just cut off funding in a way one could argue hurts Americans and Jews,” she said, according to CNN.

Burroughs added that the government has done little to evaluate the steps Harvard has taken to combat antisemitism on its campus, while noting that allowing the administration to swiftly punish Harvard without due process would have profound consequences on constitutional law.

“I don’t think you can justify a contract action based on impermissible suppression of speech,” she said, CNN reported.

It’s unclear when Burroughs will issue a decision in the case.
