On this day, President Trump wrote on the social networking service Truth Social, "Like many other institutions, it is admitting students from around the world who want to divide the United States," making these remarks.

President Trump described Harvard as a "liberal mess," claiming that "a certain group of deranged individuals is allowed to roam the classrooms, spreading fake anger and hatred," and asserted, "Harvard is a threat to democracy."

President Trump also made remarks targeting William Burck, an attorney who is part of Harvard's legal counsel. President Trump said, "He is not that great anyway," and added, "I hope the large and beautiful (my) company currently run by my sons will fire him as soon as possible."

The Trump Group hired Burck, who previously served as White House counsel during the George W. Bush administration, as an external ethics adviser in January. On this day, Eric, President Trump's second son, announced in a statement to USA Today that Burck had been dismissed.
