A quarter-century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

Now his attack on Columbia University makes sense.
Oh God. Please don't view this Ivy League institution as a victim.
Trump is a fascist, but that doesn't make Columbia "good".
They're just feeling the possibility of a little blowback from what Ivy league institutions and their graduates have collectively done this country. Boo-hoo.
Government funding which is based on the petty whims of those in power is a dangerous step. Columbia can be bad, but democratic norms being subverted, for petty or nefarious purposes can be worse.
