Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decreeβa court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they βcomply.β
Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady tariff scheme. (Insider trading amuses and delights this group.)
