Donald Trump is facing backlash over his stance on the Russia-Ukraine war and his threats to defund colleges over protests.
Ukrainian protesters gathered outside the U.S. embassy, accusing Trump of being a 'Russian asset' after he signaled a willingness to end the war with minimal demands from Putin. Meanwhile, in the U.S., Trump announced plans to cut federal funding to schools that allow 'illegal' protests, sparking criticism from Americans who see it as an attack on free speech. His comments have fueled concerns about his potential policies if re-elected, with critics warning of authoritarian tendencies.
The controversy highlights growing tensions over Trump's foreign policy and domestic approach to civil liberties.

I think suppressing protests is bad, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, and the cracking down on protesters (as long as they are peaceful and not harming anyone's rights) is very bad.

He's disgraced our nation, destroyed our soft power, and discredited ourselves before our allies and a democracy that we swore to defend. It's disgusting. And cracking down on our own citizens... It's a violation of the first amendment that his party claims to hold so dear until it inconveniences them
It’s important for people to see how our current president acts towards other countries and their governments and what that could mean for us as citizens, as well as how our president wants to change our first amendment rights.
So Trump wants to cut deals with dictators and trample free speech on campus—hard to see anything remotely "small government" about that.
Trump siding with Putin and trying to silence protesters just proves, once again, that he’s a threat to democracy both at home and abroad.
