. I respect President Trump, but if he brings 500,000 Chinese students to Florida colleges, I will raise tuition on them to $1,000,000/year, wrote Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback.
President Trump promised to bring 500,000 Chinese students to American universities and allow China to own U.S. farmlandleaving the MAGAverse enraged.
But if you dont have those studentsgood students, by the wayif you dont if theyre good and they want to stay in America, we wont give them a green card and things like that, Trump rambled on to Fox Newss Sean Hannity on Friday. Frankly, I think that its good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture, and many of them want to stay here. I think its a good thing. Not everybody agrees with me, and it doesnt sound like a very conservative position. And Im as conservativeIm a conservative guy. Im really a common sense guy, I think, more than a conservative.
Actually, no, those 500,000 students are by law required to act as spies for China. This is the law in China. If removing them sinks some schools, then they deserve to sink, MAGA influencer Robby Starbuck opined. The only Chinese students we should invite are the top 0.001% who we should invite to defect to America. And farmland? Lol. We shouldnt even let a Chinese company visit American farmland let alone own it. No exceptions. I give the Chinese credit, they would NEVER let Americans own their farmland. America First.
Trump says its insulting to tell China their students cant go to our universities, imagine being an American student and receiving a rejection letter while 500,000 Chinese students get in! former MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote. And NO it is not ok for China to buy our farmland!!! And no thats not common sense!!!
