Just so I’m fully understanding.

If Apple makes an iPhone in India to sell in New York, it gets a 25% penalty charged.

But if Samsung makes a Galaxy in South Korea to sell in New York, it gets a 10% penalty charged?

So we’re giving a 15% price advantage to foreign companies?

And this is to Make America Great Again?

Our viral tweet caused Donald to change his mind.

We did this together.

We will always win.

I will never let us fail.

Reporter: And why would you tariff a single product (phones)?

Trump: Yes that's not fair. We are going to tariff all electronics products at 25%.

Reporter: Would appliances count as electronics?

(Other reporters rush to silence this reporter)

This is an especially nice move, pointing out that many colleges and universities have "a distinct perceived viewpoint" and that has never been an issue for the government ... until now.

I had not realized Harvard actually complied with DHS' ridiculous April 16 letter, but they did so strictly within the bounds of the law and applicable regulations. I guess that's what really pissed off Trump et al.

Now we get to the crux of the matter. The Tump administration hates all universities not because they are lacking "viewpoint diversity" but because they have too much of it.

Included in this rash sledgehammer approach of barring from Harvard all F-1 and J-1 visa holders are the more than 150 Jewish students from Israel, who are as affected by this decision as those from, say, China or Gaza and the West Bank.

As we've come to expect from the second Trump administration, every action will be greeted with a massive overreaction that is breathtaking in its accusations, the scope of its demands, and its potential illegality.

The sheer thoughtlessness and downright cruelty of the Trump administration is again on full display, as Harvard points out. Thousands of students and hundreds of their dependents — none of whom have done anything wrong — have now had their lives thrown into complete disarray because of pettiness.

An eloquent and passionate defense of the importance of international students — to Harvard, yes, but also to the United States as a whole.

We are a nation of immigrants. That includes students. Many of our best and brightest citizens (and, yes, some less so) first arrived here on student visas.

Behind this argument seems (to me) to be considerable anger that people who have no understanding of or appreciation for the Constitution they swore to uphold are the ones determining the "Americanism" of a university founded in 1636 that has operated with excellence for over nearly 390 years.

There's that righteous anger again — from America's oldest university.

"For more than a month, the government has waged an all-out, multi-front attack on Harvard for reasons that are plain: the President believes Harvard's 'students,' 'professors,' and 'attitude … [are] not American.'"

I paused there to ask ChatGPT to create a cartoon for me showing the "harmful feedback loop" Harvard would experience if it lost its international students, based on the language provided in the lawsuit. After numerous tries — during which the output became worse and worse — these were the two best.
