Trump promises crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests if elected

Al Jazeera  

Trump tells donors that the student demonstrators are part of a ‘radical revolution’ and promises to defeat them. Earlier this month, the likely Republican nominee told a small group of predominantly Jewish donors that he would expel student demonstrators, who he claimed were part of a “radical revolution”, from the US if he is elected, according to a report by The Washington Post released on Monday. “If you get me elected, and you should really be doing this … we’re going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years,” Trump said, according to the report, quoting people at the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The former president also praised the New York police for clearing the campus at Columbia University in late April, and said the other cities needed to follow suit, saying “it has to be stopped now”. During the donors’ meeting in New York on May 14, Trump expressed his support for Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror” and highlighted his policies towards Israel if he is elected.
