Former US president Donald Trump condemns the anti-Israel demonstrations that have swept college campuses in the US in recent days, blaming the unrest on US President Joe Biden.
Calling the protests “a disgrace to our country,” Trump says that Biden “has the wrong signal” when it comes to the demonstrations on college campuses, which have resulted in hundreds of arrests and which many Jewish students have said left them feeling unsafe.
“He’s got the wrong tone. He’s got the wrong words. He doesn’t know who he’s backing, and it’s a mess,” Trump adds.
Speaking outside the Manhatten courthouse where his hush-money trial is taking place, Trump complains that while there is a heavier police presence on the streets surrounding the courthouse “than anyone’s ever seen,” there are “very radical people wanting to rip the colleges down,” and nobody is doing anything to stop them.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
