Trump Gets Snippy Over 1 Embarrassing Claim About His History With Harvard | EUROtoday

Hey, on the very least, this might make a wonderful villain origin story.

President Donald Trump bought fairly salty Monday night time after studying about an embarrassing declare writer Michael Wolff made about him and his ongoing vendetta in opposition to Harvard University.

During an interview with “The Daily Beast” podcast final week, Wolff, who has written a number of books about Trump, mentioned the rationale why the president has such a “grudge” in opposition to the Ivy League establishment is as a result of it damage his emotions. Or, as Wolff put it, “he didn’t get into Harvard.”

“He needs an enemy,” Wolff mentioned earlier within the podcast. “That’s what makes the show great. The Trump show. He picks fantastic enemies, actually. And Harvard, for all it represents, fits right into the Trump show,” he mentioned.

“Going after Harvard has proved to be an incredibly reliable headline,” he added. “So he’s on the money. So he’s done what he set out to do. Dominate headlines.”

Wolff’s remarks appeared to get Trump’s hackles up.

“Michael Wolff, a Third Rate Reporter, who is laughed at even by the scoundrels of the Fake News, recently stated that the only reason I’m ‘beating up’ on Harvard, is because I applied there, and didn’t get in,” Trump wrote on his web site, Truth Social, Monday. “That story is totally FALSE, I never applied to Harvard. I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania.”

Trump continued, clearly not bothered in any respect, “He is upset because his book about me was a total ‘BOMB.’ Nobody wanted it, because his ‘reporting’ and reputation is so bad!”

Harvard has definitely gotten Trump’s panties in a twist.

In April, the Trump administration claimed an investigation discovered that the Ivy League establishment was partaking in so-called range, fairness and inclusion (DEI) practices and selling “antisemitism” on campus. The administration threatened to tug $9 billion in federal grants until Harvard bent to its will. Harvard refused, which led to Trump getting much more vindictive by freezing its federal fundingtelling the IRS to revoke its tax-exempt standingand making an attempt to bar Harvard from enrolling overseas college students.

Elsewhere within the podcast, Wolff additionally claimed that he began the rumor that the rationale why Trump was concentrating on Harvard was as a result of his youngest son, Barron, utilized and didn’t get in — a declare that first girl Melania Trump has denied.

“That nugget comes from me,” Wolff mentioned. “That exists because I reported that that was the joke within the White House.”

He added, “I actually don’t know if there’s any truth in this, which there very well might be, but within the White House that became the joke… Because they were like, ‘What is he doing? This is crazy stuff. Why would this be happening?’ and then they tell the Barron joke.”
