Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up. Many said it was their first political rally ever. There’s something happening in Texas…
