Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?

Hopefully people will realize that Trump barks a lot. Nobody is defunding UC Berkely over this.

and how many protestors were students there? I think many of the worst were a group of anarchists and other non-students.

Yea, Trump just did his usual Taurette's thing and people reacted to it. People just have to put him on ignore.

Yeah I haven't seen the blame go to Trump. But the Dems need to be careful or else they're going to get locked at the hip with these violent nut-bags and that can't help their cause.

They already are. That the hilarious thing about all of this. The left is making the Tea Party look rational.

We all need to pay for it. Our entire society benefits. You do understand colleges and universities do research that benefits everyone? Some of that is privately funded and some of that is publicly funded.

People clearly don't understand how big research works when they say they don't want colleges to be federally funded. They are blind as a bat. Human health research would not exist without it. There would be no cures for cancer, no strides toward ebola vaccines, nothing.

No one knows and neither do you. I certainly don't know. My very strong guess is that both college and non-college students were involved. I do know that Cal Berkeley refused to provide security and forced the College Republicans who hosted the event to pay for their own security.

It was a police matter. They dealt with it. Trump went overboard as usual.

I missed Bone Spurs memo telling the majority of the U.S. to shut up and crawl in a hole. Was that a Fox & Friends episode?

Isn't Janet Napolitano ,former director of the DHS, now the president there? She's also replacing 90 IT employees with H1B IT workers form India, saving 30 mill.
