Princess Elisabeth has completed first year of master’s degree but Trump administration’s crackdown may jeopardise studies

Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has just completed her first year at Harvard University but the ban imposed by Donald Trump’s administration on foreign students studying there could jeopardise her continued attendance.

The US president’s administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enrol international students on Thursday, and is forcing current foreign students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status in the US, while also threatening to expand the crackdown to other colleges.

“Princess Elisabeth has just completed her first year. The impact of [the Trump administration’s] decision will only become clearer in the coming days/weeks. We are currently investigating the situation,” said a spokesperson for the Belgian royal palace, Lore Vandoorne.

    Your points are speaking to a Trump voter that would never even care about those things because they would never actually apply to them. They live in a contradiction that doesn’t apply to what you’re saying.

    You literally replied with talking points that only benefit rich well off bourgeoisie. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make or who you’re trying to convince. Because this definitely doesn’t appeal to the me (looking at this from a class perspective) or the idiot Trump voter (looking at this from a “fuck the elite” perspective).

    The later of which is just, on average, an uneducated working class idiot that thinks we live in a meritocracy but blames the “elite” for their position in it. They lack class analysis to actually understand where to direct that anger. But Harvard and “Queens” are the definition of that elite to them.

    Who is this article supposed to appeal to? That’s my question. This is just garbage puff that distracts from the real problems with Trump’s policies.

    It only appeals to well off petty bourgeois Liberals that have nothing better to care about than some “royal” being effected by a policy that they are only, at best, collateral damage to.

      See, that’s bullshit because you can’t be outraged that Harvard admits foreigners but also pretend to not care about or be affected by Harvard at all.
