The protesting currently taking place on American college campuses has seized the nation’s attention. Some politicos are comparing it to the widespread unrest seen in the ’60s.
Recent reports have indicated that in fact, some of the anti-Israel protests have been at least partially funded by donors to President Joe Biden.
Republicans and conservatives aren’t surprised to learn this (initially reported by POLITICO), and continue to maintain that left-wing organizations have gone too far in standing for Palestine.
Liberal funders such as George Soros, Bill Gates, and David Rockefeller Jr. have all contributed to Biden in the past, and now these same names are popping up in connection to the ongoing protests.
Now, likely Presidential nominee Donald Trump has responded to this report, and he also isn’t surprised in the least.
From Daily Wire:
“It also came out that the protesters, many of the protesters, are backed by Biden’s donors.OK, are you listening Israel? I hope you’re listening Israel. I hope you’re getting smart.
But they are backed by Biden’s donors, that’s where the money’s coming from. And I’m not surprised at all.
Groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow have been linked to protests at Columbia university, and are also reportedly supported by the Tides Foundation. The latter receives funding from Soros and Gates, among others.
After the protests escalated into violence and more unrest, Columbia was forced to cancel its commencement ceremony, and many critics have pounced on this. Trump was the latest, who said it “shouldn’t happen.”

The Republican leader added:
The primary reason for all of these terrible protests is Crooked Joe Biden. He is unable to talk, unable to reason, unable to put two simple sentences together, unable to even climb 3 steps to a helicopter, or the main stairs to Air Force One.
In other words, his mind and body are shot,” he posted on Truth Social.
Trump added that Biden presides over a “Failing Nation” and that America “will soon be a great nation again.”
College authorities seem to be split over the protests, as many on the right condemn the Pro-Hamas/Anti-Isreal movement, citing reports where some protesters have burned American flags and chanted “Death to America.”
As for Donald Trump, he’ll likely use this as effective ammunition against the Biden campaign — given the latest polling numbers, the current POTUS can ill-afford another negative issue.
