His remarks came after Harvard filed a lawsuit to reclaim $3.2 billion in frozen grant funds, escalating an already tense standoff between Trump and the Ivy League institution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"776\">Online rumors added fuel to the fire, suggesting Trump\u2019s outrage was personal\u2014triggered by claims that his son Barron had been rejected by Harvard. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse even hinted at this possibility, sparking speculation about whether Trump\u2019s feud is rooted in personal grievance rather than policy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1092\">In a rare move, Melania Trump publicly addressed the rumors through a spokesperson, firmly denying them. \u201cBarron did not apply to Harvard,\u201d her statement read, pushing back against what she called false and politically motivated claims. She emphasized that Barron had instead chosen NYU\u2019s Stern School of Business.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1385\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With Melania drawing a clear boundary and Trump continuing his war on elite institutions, the story straddles politics and personal drama. As the 2024 campaign heats up, questions remain: is this feud really about federal funding\u2014or is it pride, legacy, and family at play behind the scenes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Harvard University, accusing it of antisemitism and threatening to cut federal funding, calling
