Sorry, Tangerine -- No "Mulligans" -- When You Cut Off Harvard's Funding... That's A Two Stroke Penalty.

As we saw last week, it was just like Trump's cheating (when golfing). . . to invoke "winter rules" -- and try to kick his ball out of the brush without any stroke penalties. He claimed it was a mistake. It wasn't.

This morning, he claimed he was assessing AN ADDITIONAL $1 billion in penalties against Harvard.

That was. . . colossally stupid. Bright. . . crimson level. . . stupid.

They have sued (you may read the complaint at law here, in full). He will lose; and lose bigly / badly. Here's The Crimson, on it all -- and I am here for all of it:

. . .Harvard sued the Trump administration in federal court on Monday over its multibillion dollar cuts to the University’s research funding, accusing the White House of undertaking an arbitrary and unconstitutional campaign to “punish Harvard for protecting its constitutional rights.”

The move comes just one day after the Trump administration reportedly planned to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts from Harvard, on top of an existing $2.2 billion cut that was announced last week.

And it sets in motion a historic legal clash as Harvard attempts to combat the Trump administration’s devastating multi-agency campaign to slash the University’s funding in exchange for deep concessions -- including federal audits of Harvard’s programs, agreements to screen international students for their beliefs, and the installation of administrators who will ensure the White House’s demands are carried out. . . .

In the complaint, Harvard accused the administration of unlawfully freezing billions in research funding to pressure the University into restructuring its governance, academic programs, and hiring practices. It argued that the freeze violates the First Amendment by “imposing viewpoint-based conditions on Harvard’s funding.”

The University also accused federal agencies of bypassing legally required procedures under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, alleging that the Department of Health and Human Services cut off grants without fair legal justification. The freeze, Harvard’s lawyers wrote, “has nothing at all to do with antisemitism and Title VI compliance. . . .”

Man. It is getting. . . weird, out there -- with a madman trying to crash the markets, on top of all of this. Yep. . . that's your very stable genius at work.

Cheers!
