Trump’s War Against Harvard Has Failed Gloriously

Donald Trump’s longstanding feud with elite institutions like Harvard has been a central theme in his political narrative, portraying them as bastions of liberal elitism disconnected from the values of “real America.

” He sought to undermine their credibility through lawsuits, public criticism, and policy pressure—most notably with his administration’s attacks on affirmative action and his Department of Education’s investigations into Ivy League admissions practices.

Yet, in a striking twist, Harvard has not only weathered these assaults but emerged with its academic prestige and influence intact. The university continues to lead global rankings, attract record numbers of applicants, and produce alumni who shape policy, technology, and culture.

Rather than diminishing Harvard’s role in American life, Trump’s campaign inadvertently bolstered it. His efforts drew national attention to issues of equity and access in higher education, spurring reforms and renewed support for diversity programs among peer institutions.

In the broader cultural battle, Harvard’s resilience has become symbolic of the enduring power of intellectual institutions in the face of populist attacks.

The war, it seems, ended not with Harvard’s retreat, but with a reaffirmation of its relevance—an outcome Trump certainly did not intend, but one that has gloriously sealed the failure of his crusade.
