You know how old people remember random crap from 40 years ago? Ol' boy ain't right.


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

Donald Trump was demanding $400 million from Columbia University.
When he did not get his way, he stormed out of a meeting with university trustees and later publicly castigated the university president as “a dummy” and “a total moron.”
That drama dates back 25 years.


Now he's demanding penalties from Columbia, a private institution, or he will withhold 400 million in grants.

The demands are things like, "no masks" and punish student for free speech, and rework programs like women's studies and AA studies.
