'"What the hell?' Trump baffles internet with wild answer at town
Donald Trump delivered a rambling response to a question about his push to crack down on Harvard University, that left many political observers struggling to understand his answer.
The baffling moment unfolded Wednesday as Trump called into a NewsNation town hall hosted by Chris Cuomo, Bill O’Reilly, and Stephen A. Smith. When Trump was asked by Smith to explain his criticism of the Ivy League school, the MAGA leader instead launched into a puzzling anecdote about Harlem and the 2024 election.
“We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem, and frankly, if you look at what’s gone on, and people from Harlem went up and they protested, Stephen,” Trump said. “And they protested very strongly against Harvard. They happened to be on my side.”
"You know, I got a very high Black vote. You know that. Very, very high Black vote. It was a very great compliment,” Trump added as part of his long-winded remark.
The comments immediately raised eyebrows over social media, as observers tried to parse the connection.
“What the hell is this?” asked Republican pollster, Sarah Longwell, on X. “Our president’s brain is mashed potatoes.”

I’d guess he simply misheard Harlem for Harvard. Lot of mumbling going on these days.
