Start at minute 33:00. Trump put pressure on Harvard to stop admitting foreign students, especially the Chinese spies (they're basically all spies, as they are not allowed to study abroad unless they have a Chinese government handler), and Harvard reacted by pulling Americans off the waitlist. The people on the Upper West Side are ecstatic. Mark Halperin and Dan Turrentine (a Dem) live there and report that it is all the talk on the UWS and they're actually giving credit to yes, the Orange Man Bad.
This is not politics. We're helping the Chinese beat us by educating them, and Trump is putting an end to it. Good for him. The only bad thing is the people on the UWS reap the benefits but I'll take it.
