Yeah, well, with freeloader Belgium having spent for decades now less than 1.3% of bnp on defence, with only luxembourg spending less in nato, there aren't many armes to go about ....

She has options. Not every international student at Harvard does, though. I hope that she will speak out in defense and support of Harvard U against the ignorant traitor felon conman wannabe dictator!

eltoninatlanta.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’ll bet she’s been advised by her government to avoid political controversy.

sammythecat.bsky.social•12 days ago

She is in the thick of it. We’ll stay tuned. It should become an international incident thrown back in the traitor felon conman’s ugly orange face 😡

Ze hebben een rechtzaak aangespannen tegen Trump en vooralsnog heeft de rechter het verbod aangehouden!
We gaan het zien..

theresheis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ze= Harvard

He can continue to work at dumbing-down the US, but the rest of the world will continue to learn. The solution may be that foreign students attend lectures via the Internet. We got pretty good at remote learning a couple of years ago. Certainly it’s optimal in person, but there’s a workaround.

Enjoyed your talk at Charleston this afternoon. More project 2025.

So Trump won't get a Royal Letter of Invitation for a State Visit to Belgium.

sanasp.bsky.social•12 days ago

Imagine he will invite them to the Oval Office, so he can ambush-wave around printed news articles from Luxembourg or Austria, claiming white genocide in Belgium. And ask for a plane.

The judiciary has to to get tougher with their findings/sanctions. tfg is playing wackamole, and winning.

mikepapafox.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is this unexpected leverage?

greenhombre.bsky.social•12 days ago

Many Israeli students will get booted too.

eltoninatlanta.bsky.social•12 days ago

These idiots never think things through.

Wanna go out and fight the MAGA meatheads?!

captainosint.bsky.social•12 days ago

´Aux armes’ is in the French national anthem. She is Belgian.

ikf956.bsky.social•12 days ago

I understand that Trump also plans to outright ban Belgian Waffles

eltoninatlanta.bsky.social•12 days ago

We want American waffles. Waffles like nobody’s ever seen before.

bathshebablue.bsky.social•12 days ago

Paywall. Sigh.

Are there any signs of solidarity of US Havard Students toward their foreign co-students?

lionunlucky.bsky.social•12 days ago

La Marseillaise? That would be a call for revolution.

lanative.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm waiting for the exception for students from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and related, Trump-enabling countries.

wbaker14.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’m sure it’s already in the works.

bwfoster.bsky.social•12 days ago

I guess we and the people of Belgium should be grateful the Belgian princess wasn't arrested on the streets by masked agents in plain clothes, thrown in an unmarked van, and remanded to an ICE detention center. The ugly reality is that were she Hispanic or Middle Eastern, that could have happened.

One of Mark Carney's daughters, also.

ygeorgiadou.bsky.social•12 days ago

Maybe the king of Belgium can give an Airbus to the orange lunatic as a gift.

louisade.bsky.social•12 days ago

But but but…??? She isn’t brown, right?

sanasp.bsky.social•12 days ago

Maybe she’s not orange enough? Probably needs one of those tax free tanning beds.

louisade.bsky.social•12 days ago

The Netherlands is strongly associated with the color orange due to its royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau.

Not so much Belgium.

sanasp.bsky.social•12 days ago

They just have chocolate and Brussel sprouts 😂

valeria01.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, our future queen is embroiled in this mess.

kindlesnclowders.bsky.social•12 days ago

King trump can't have competition.

maryluvinlife.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm sure Tr*mp would make an exception for her for 💰.

zeseadog1966.bsky.social•12 days ago

Our Crown Princess, after the Royal Military Academy, went for 2 years in Oxford. If Harvard becomes a problem, I'm convinced there will be some proposals by Oxford, Cambridge and even Eaton....
She's a really successful student, our future Queen.

Well. Bet he wasn’t expecting that development! Nice foreign policy there Donny!
