Former President Trump told a private meeting of donors in New York earlier this month that he will stop the “radical revolution” on American college campuses if he is re-elected president.
The presumptive Republican nominee also vowed to throw foreign students protesting against Israel “out of the country,” The Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing donors who spoke on condition of anonymity. The meeting took place on May 14 and included “98 percent of my Jewish friends,” Trump joked.
“One thing I do is, any student who protests, I throw him out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students. Once they hear that, they're going to behave,” Trump said. to the Post.
When donors expressed concern that anti-Israel students and professors would one day hold positions of power in the US, Trump reportedly said they were part of a “radical revolution.”

“It must be stopped now,” Trump said of the protests, praising the way New York police handled the Columbia University encampment and adding that other cities should follow suit.
“Well, if you get me elected, and you really should, if you get me re-elected, we're going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years,” he said, according to donors who spoke to the Post. .
Trump also reportedly told wealthy New York donors at the closed-door event that he supports Israel's right to continue “its war on terror” and praised his White House's policies toward Israel.
However, Trump did not mention Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by name. He reportedly hasn't spoken to Netanyahu in years since the Israeli prime minister recognized President Biden's 2020 victory.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has faced pressure from Republican donors in recent months to take a stronger stance in support of Israel and Netanyahu in particular.
Notably, in April, Trump said during an interview with conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt that Israel, regarding its war in Gaza, “needs to put an end to it, and let's return to peace and stop killing people .”
