And the reason this is all happening, and I think this is a very, very important thing to understand about the entire political landscape going forward, is that one of the core and extremely important bases of Donald Trump's support is in the leadership of the Democratic Party, particularly the Democratic Party in New York. Right. This is Schumer. This is Eric Adams.

Okay, so in this interview with the New York Times, he gets asked about Trump cutting $400 million of funding for Columbia University for, I guess, not like publicly executing the Palestine protesters. And again, Columbia University, that is an institution that he represents in the Senate, right? Yeah. That's like his fucking thing.

So if you read between the lines of what he's saying, his argument is that it's actually fine for Trump to do all of these fucking budget cuts of all of these people from these universities, as long as it's specifically targeting pro-Palestinian protesters, which is anyone who's vaguely pro-Palestine.
