In addition to cutting funds for PBS and NPR, Trump has, via executive order, threatened to defund elite universities, including Harvard, that refuse to take government dictation over curriculum and hiring policies.

Trump earlier called the two outlets “horrible and completely biased platforms” in a post on Truth Social, calling on Congress to defund them immediately.
