The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, has vowed that he will suppress the demonstrations of the defenders and supporters of Palestine that are being held in the country's universities and emphasized that he will "kick out" the students who attend the demonstrations, if he is elected to return to power.

Speaking at an event organized by a small group of mostly Jewish donors, Trump said he would deport all pro-Palestinian protesters to make sure they "respect themselves."

The former president of the United States explained it by saying: "one thing I will do is that any student who protests I will expel him from the country. You know, there are many foreign students. Once they hear that, they will hate themselves".

The 77-year-old Trump, who is expected to be the candidate for the presidency on the Republican ticket, has described the protests against the genocide carried out by the Zionist regime of Israel in Gaza as a "dangerous revolution" and assured the donors that, for with their help and support, he will set the movement back 25 or 30 years by defeating Joe Biden in the next presidential election to be held in November.

In recent months, protests against the brutal crimes of genocide committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip have shaken various educational institutions in every corner of the United States. The movement started at Columbia University in New York, where the setting up of tents and camping on campus disrupted academic activities in the final weeks and even led to the postponement of graduation.

According to The Washington Post, the donors of the Republican party have asked Trump to take a stronger stance in support of Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump has also reportedly told the donors in private that he supports the right of the Zionist regime to continue the genocide in the Gaza Strip.../
