On Wednesday, former president Donald Trump urged college presidents to quickly eliminate anti-Israel protest encampments from their campuses.
As demonstrations at the University of Wisconsin’s Madison and Milwaukee schools continue for what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel claims is a fourth consecutive time, Trump’s problem to school leaders was presented at a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

” To every school president, I say replace the encampments quickly, vanquish the radicals, and get back our schools for all of the ordinary individuals who want a secure place from which to learn”, he said to loud applause.
Trump also criticised President Joe Biden for his lack of leadership in the midst of widespread protests, days after Biden had previously called for “antisemitic protests” and also called for” those who do n’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”
Despite this remark, which , brought condemnation Biden’s manner, Trump said,” Biden is nowhere to be found”.
” He’s the leader, when you have a problem like that, you should go out and talk about it and talk to the people, but there’s a big issue. There’s a huge disease in our nation”, Trump said.
Trump said even if Biden tried to address the issue, “it would n’t matter, in fact, I think it would actually make it worse”.
White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre claimed at a media briefing on Wednesday evening that Biden “is monitoring the situation” and that he was “watching the position” when questioned why he had never been more vocal about the subject.

Has the president been monitoring this, and why have we not heard directly from the president about these protests ]inaudible ] institutions of higher learning across this country, the police responses, instances of violence – why have n’t we heard from the president?
” The leader is being kept constantly updated on what’s happenning, as you just stated, across the country. He is monitoring the situation quite carefully, so is his team”, she said.
She added that” no president has spoken more strongly about combating hatred than” Biden.
