He has every right to stop federal funding for universities who shut down freedom of speech which is a vital part of our country. He isn't trying to set the rules at universities. If they won't let people from ALL sides speak then no funding for them. Simple really.

No they're not fake journalists. Why does Acosta's question make him a fake journalist? I guess fake is any question that Trump doesn't like.

I look forward to the pro choice or gun control or atheist speaker that private universities will try to block. They get fed funds too.
