Former US President Donald Trump, amidst his campaign to reclaim the White House, commended the actions of the New York police in dispersing a tent camp of pro-Palestinian demonstrators at Columbia University. He urged law enforcement agencies in other states to take similar actions.
During a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump praised the crackdown on an anti-Israel demonstration as "a beautiful sight." He characterized the situation in New York as being besieged by "Hamas crazies."
Trump called for the dismantling of tent camps at other educational institutions to counteract radicals and ensure that regular students attending universities for education can do so without disruption.
