United States President Donald Trump has justified his threat to end the tax-exempt status of Harvard University noting that the institution is a joke that teaches ‘hate and stupidity’.

Trump claimed that Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning.

He made this known in a post on his Truth Social Media page on Wednesday.

The US president added that the Ivy League school should not receive federal funds.

“Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning and should not be considered on any list of the world’s great universities or colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds,” Trump said.

This attack comes days after Trump said Harvard should not be on the list of the world’s greatest universities.

Recall that Trump had earlier this week threatened to cancel Harvard’s tax-exempt status.

Trump’s attacks come after Harvard refused to implement policy changes demanded by the Trump government
