Michael Cohen

And my audience is going to say- My audience would kill me.

So it's Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.

He's the head of the Yale University Business School.

I've known Jeffrey while I speak at Yale several times a year at Jeffrey's bequest.

He brought in 100 university presidents, and the question that they were discussing, the topic, was how to deal with Donald Trump as it relates to being the head of a university.

As we all know, Trump is right now in litigation with Harvard.

When I say Trump, I'm talking about the United States of America, with Trump being, of course, the president.

There's litigation against Harvard based upon a multitude of issues from DEI to gender equality and the education that they're providing.

But they had, like I said, 100 individuals, and they were asking me, how do you think that we should deal with President Trump in handling this issue?

Because they are right now

in a very precarious situation.

They do not want to lose the funding, the government funding, which Trump controls and is using as leverage.

Sure.

While simultaneously, they want to keep their ability to operate the school in the manner that they deem best.

And that's a problem.

I gave them, my recommendation is to settle and settle early.

Because if you don't, Trump doesn't stop.

He will keep going.

He will keep pushing the envelope farther and farther.

So if he starts with, say, $100 million as a payment in exchange for removing the restrictions on the grants, my suggestion, try to water down the poison as much as you can.
