  • Trump reignites trade war with the European Union and prohibits international students from attending Harvard, challenging liberalism and Western democratic principles.
  • Displaying erratic decision-making, Trump justifies a new 50% rate from June 1 based on falsities, creating economic chaos.
  • Government meddling in Harvard, via funding cuts and fiscal threats, attacks academic freedom and impacts 6,800 students.
  • The government's infraction of this ban is being reviewed on a case-by-case basis, reaffirming judiciary's key role in safeguarding against power abuses.
  • Trump's current policies not only undermine the U.S.'s academic reputation, but also threaten Western cultural wealth.
  • With Trump's pressure, talents might migrate to China, adopting political values aligned with a dictatorship.

Conclusion: Although Trump believes solely in the law of force, his project is destined for failure as judges and civil society will resist against the U.S.'s autocratic slide.
