Trump Suggests Campus Protests Are Distraction From Border Crisis
Former President Donald Trump proposes that pro-Palestine campus protests are a deliberate ploy to divert attention from immigration issues.
- Trump speculates that pro-Palestine protests on university campuses across the U.S. are intended to shift focus from the southern border.
- The theory, shared on Trump's Truth Social platform, has not gained significant traction in right-wing media.
- Trump uses the protests to criticize the handling of immigration by the Biden administration and to downplay the Jan. 6 insurrection.
- Violence and arrests have been reported at multiple universities, including Columbia and UCLA, amid escalating anti-Israel protests.
- Trump plans to continue his campaign with stops in battleground states, leveraging the ongoing protests and border issues.
