Former President Donald Trump was back on the campaign trail where he slammed the pro-Palestine protesters and called on colleges to ‘vanquish the radicals’ at first rally since his hush money trial began more than two weeks ago.
‘You saw it last night. That’s one good thing that really happened,’ Trumps said after New York City police cracked down on protesters who had occupied Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.
Speaking at a rally in Waukesha, WI on Wednesday afternoon, the ex-president said ‘New York was under siege last night.’
The New York Police Department confirmed that 119 people were arrested at Columbia after cops moved in to clear protestors from the occupied building and a nearby encampment.
‘The radical extremists and far left agitators are terrorizing college campuses,’ Trump said.

‘They could have done this with the tents and it would have gone quickly, and no problem,’ Trump said. ‘But they did an incredible job. They went into one of the big buildings, a big landmark building. Boy, it got the hell beat out of it last night.’
He called the clearing of Columbia a ‘beautiful thing to watch – New York’s finest.’
The former president praised police across the country and said he’s going to give police ‘their power back.’
