Trump: University of Missouri leadership ‘weak, ineffective’, student’s demands ‘crazy’

The university has been plagued with racial protests over the past few weeks, which have lead to the resignation of university president Tim Wolfe. Wolfe’s resignation was followed by Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announcing he would leave office at the end of the year due to mounting pressure.

Trump said the leaders stepping aside was a “weak” move.

“I think the two people that resigned are weak, ineffective people,” he said. “I think that when they resigned, they set something in motion that’s going to be a disaster for the next long period of time. They were weak, ineffective people.”

“Trump should have been the chancellor of that university. Believe me, there would have been no resignations,” he added.

He also said the demands from the student-protest group, Concerned Student 1950, were “crazy.” These demands include that the university increase its percentage of black faculty and staff by 10 percent and a mandatory “comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum.”

“By the way, did you look at their demands?” Trump said. “Their demands are like crazy. The things that they are asking for, many of those things are like crazy. So it’s just disgraceful.”

Trump’s never been quiet about the political correctness running rampant in the country and he’s not going to let this protest slide by.

We can’t let these kinds of protests undermine the institutions and foundations that this country was founded on.
