“What’s going on at the college level and the colleges, Columbia, NYU, and others, is a disgrace. And it’s really on Biden, he has sent the wrong signal,” Trump, 77, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/112320840445281843" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told reporters</a> before entering a Manhattan courtroom for proceedings in his hush money trial.

“He’s got the wrong tone. He’s got the wrong words. He doesn’t know who he’s backing and it’s a mess,” the 45th president went on. “What’s going on is a disgrace and it’s all Biden’s fault.”

Anti-Israel demonstrations have taken over the Ivy League school since April 17, forcing the university to cancel in-person classes Monday and announce <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-university-moves-to-hybrid-classes-for-rest-of-semester/">Tuesday that it was moving to a hybrid model for the remainder of the spring semester</a>.

On Sunday, Columbia campus <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/21/us-news/columbia-rabbi-warns-jewish-students-to-go-home-dont-come-back-to-campus-because-of-extreme-antisemitism/">rabbi Elie Buechler</a>&nbsp;warned Jewish students via WhatsApp to leave due to “extreme antisemitism” and elevated safety concerns. 

At NYU, police cleared out protest encampments Monday evening and arrested 133 people, all of whom were released with summonses for disorderly conduct.

In his first on-camera remarks since the chaos began, Biden <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/22/us-news/biden-condemns-antisemitic-protests-those-who-dont-understand-palestinians-in-echo-of-trump-both-sides-remark/">attempted a both-sides approach to the issue</a>.

<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/22/us-news/aoc-defends-columbia-protests-as-peaceful-despite-rabbi-warning-jewish-students-to-stay-home/#"></a>“I condemn the&nbsp;antisemitic&nbsp;protests,” the president said. “That’s why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

Biden’s comments, which resembled Trump’s much-criticized rhetoric after deadly violence surrounding an August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., were slammed by conservatives.

“President Biden says <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/08/15/trump-condemns-alt-left-for-violence-at-virginia-white-power-rally/">there are good people on both sides of October 7</a>,” tweeted Federalist editor-in-chief Molly Hemingway.

“Biden’s’ ‘very fine people’ hoax is the whole reason he said he ran for President. Now he’s the one actually doing it,” Abigail Jackson, the communications director for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said.

Biden has faced an internal party revolt over the Israel-Hamas war, with hundreds of thousands of Democratic primary voters marking themselves as some variation of “uncommitted” to protest his handling of the crisis.

“He’s no friend of Israel that’s for sure. And he’s no friend of the Arab world either,” Trump mused Tuesday. ” He doesn’t know what to do. He wants to take like a middle ground and oftentimes that doesn’t work.”
