After anti-Israel protesters set up encampments at universities across the U.S., former President Donald Trump promised donors earlier this month that he would stifle the demonstrations and deport foreign-born student protesters if he wins a second term in the White House, participants in a May 14 roundtable with Trump told The Washington Post.
According to donors who were with Trump at the roundtable discussion in New York, the former president said, “One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students. As soon as they hear that, they’re going to behave.”
Trump also said the anti-Israel demonstrators were part of a “radical revolution” that he would push back against if he’s elected in November.
