MIchael Cohen - MAGA vs. Magna Cum Laude

-As we enter Memorial Day weekend—a time to reflect, to honor, to remember the brave men and women who laid down their lives in defense of the U.S. Constitution—it seems fitting, if not tragically ironic, that President Trump is once again pissing all over it.

Let’s talk about what just happened: a federal judge—thank God there are still a few of them left who haven’t drunk the MAGA Kool-Aid—blocked the Trump administration from removing foreign students from Harvard. No crime. No national security threat. No due process. Just good old-fashioned Trump-style retaliation. A policy born from spite, rooted in paranoia, executed with the finesse of a drunk rhinoceros.

The official reason for targeting these students? That’s still a mystery. The real reason? Trump hates being outclassed. Harvard represents everything he despises: intellect, merit, globalism, excellence, facts. You know, the stuff he’s allergic to. He couldn’t get into the school, couldn’t buy respect from it, and certainly couldn’t bribe his way into Harvard, so instead, he lashes out like the petty, insecure tyrant he is. If he can’t be part of the club, he’ll burn the damn clubhouse down.

And because one act of lunacy is never enough, Kristi Noem—the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and full-time Trump sycophant—jumped on a microphone to issue a threat so bone-chilling it sounds like it came from the set of The Handmaid’s Tale: other universities, you better get in line, or you’re next.
