    What country do we live in, again? I wonder what he plans to say tonight that made him tweet this today.

    “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” the US president wrote on Truth Social.

    “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on [sic] the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

    So we’re going to ban people from schools now for practicing free speech?

    Hamas and their leadership over the people in Gaza is the problem that you are willfully ignoring in all this.

    Donald is a acting like a snowflake.

    Free speech for me, but not for thee.

    He won't stop until his supporters start pushing back. Not sure if or when that will happen. They just go along with him regardless of how dumb his ideology is.

    WTF does Hamas and Gaza have to do with Trump threatening college students in the USA for exercising their first amendment rights? I swear you’re a bot sometimes.

    What is an "illegal protest"?

    There should be consequences for breaking the law. So what laws are we talking?

    Tell us what rights do these rioters, pretending to be protestors, have to occupy land, buildings, grounds and sidewalks all the while attacking Jews and other students on and near college campuses?

    Fact: If they were Trump supporters, they would be coddled, pardoned, praised as heroes and political prisoners.

    President Musk, “free speech absolutist”, will certainly be upset.

    Next Democratic administration: Anyone who ever expressed solidarity for Jan 6 protesters or by extension the MAGA movement is a traitor and any school that admits them or their children will not receive any federal funding. All students will be expelled.

    Holy crap. How were my fellow Gators and I allowed to survive our days on campus? 'Cause they sure didn't round us up and expel us from school when we protested all manner of things.

    Why is anyone okay with these latest proposals?

    Odds of a Kent State type situation happening in the next 2 years are not even on the board in Vegas.

    Yeah, on its face this thread is an overreaction because I assume we all are against "illegal" protests lol.

    Illegal protests aren't protected.

    Now that begs the question, what is illegal and what does TRUMP think is illegal?

    Protests? Fine.
    Blocking other students (“the Jews”) from attending class is illegal and unacceptable. Enjoy your return home. First amendment rights? No problem. Consequences? Absolutely.

    Next aggrieved group?
