Maher and Trump Agree on Harvard

Comedian Bill Maher stunned his audience by backing President Trump’s war on Harvard University. On his HBO show “Real Time,” Maher said the Ivy League school deserves to lose federal funding. He pointed to what he sees as Harvard’s failure to stop antisemitic behavior on campus.

“Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard,” Maher told viewers. “And like so many things he does, there’s a kernel of a good idea there.”

Then Maher added, “I’ve been sh–ing on Harvard long before he was.”

Ivy League Feud Heats Up

Maher, who graduated from Cornell University, claimed his Harvard criticism wasn’t about the usual school rivalry. CNN’s Jake Tapper tried to call it bias. “You went to Cornell,” Tapper reminded him. Maher responded that Harvard deserves it because it “produces smirking f–k faces.”

That crude remark drew loud laughs from the audience. But Maher didn’t stop there. He continued hammering the institution’s elite culture and failure to protect Jewish students.

Maher Drops Bombs on Air

Unaware or unfazed, Maher let loose while Congressman Seth Moulton sat just feet away. Tapper pointed out Moulton has three Harvard degrees. Maher joked that made him a “f–k face times three.”

Maher’s shocking shift in tone toward Trump also raised eyebrows. Once a loud critic, he now admits their dinner at the White House changed his mind. UFC boss Dana White and Kid Rock also attended.

Dinner With the President

“The guy I met is not the same person who tweets insane things,” Maher confessed. He described Trump as calm and different in private. The turnaround came after years of slamming Trump on air.

Still, Maher insists he hasn’t abandoned liberal values. He simply thinks Harvard is out of touch, elitist, and overdue for a reckoning.

Trump’s Harvard Crackdown

Meanwhile, Trump has taken real action. He froze Harvard’s federal funding and tried to revoke its tax-exempt status. His administration even moved to block visas for some of the school’s international students.

A federal judge halted that plan. But Trump’s broader goal remains clear: push more American students into elite institutions and block students tied to China’s Communist Party.

Harvard Called a ‘Party School’ for China

Trump’s team claimed Harvard has trained too many Chinese officials. Some reportedly call it their “Party School.” The president is expected to propose new rules to limit foreign influence at U.S. universities.

Maher didn’t comment on the China claims. But he seemed to agree that Harvard needs a wake-up call. “They think they’re untouchable,” he said. “It’s time they weren’t.”

Campus Battle Just Beginning

As summer admissions loom, Harvard is bracing for more heat. Trump’s crackdown could impact funding, enrollment, and its global reputation. Maher’s words—raw and unsparing—just added fuel to the fire.

The culture war over higher education is roaring louder than ever. And now, both a Republican president and a liberal comic are pointing their fire at the same elite target.

Stay tuned. This academic battle is far from over.
