Anyone else notice how the Trump Administration is sending mixed signals [View all]

in the way he cites antisemitic reasons to reign in the school institutions,

"It accused the university of failing to protect Jewish students and promoting “divisive ideologies over free inquiry.”"

but his supporters and even his Administrative appointees are anti-semitic?

"Far-right podcaster with ties to Trump orbit calls for 'final solution' -- to deport Jews"
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=post&post&forum=1014&pid=3430762

And, of course, there's Stephen miller.

I admit all this duplicity is getting me goggled eyed. Any way the Universities can use this Administrative inconsistency to sue the Administration to stop them from using federal funds in their extortion scheme?
