One possible explanation for #Trump targeting Columbia University:

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says
Drug shortages in the UK have risen to their worst level for four years, official figures show, with Brexit considered a key reason so many medications are scarce.
Drug companies notified the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) about disruptions to supply 1,938 times during last year – the highest number since the 1,967 seen in 2021.
Medications to treat epilepsy and cystic fibrosis are among those that pharmacists are finding it hard or impossible to get hold of, creating risks for patients’ health.
The figures have emerged in a new report by the Nuffield Trust health thinktank, which obtained them under freedom of information laws from the DHSC, which oversees the availability of drugs UK-wide.

Witkoff is up to his neck in Russian propaganda, completely soaked. Pretty clear how Putin set all this up, made Witkoff Trump's envoy. It's all so transparent. And now this guy is supposed to get concessions from Russia?
Witkoff with neo-Nazi tucker Carlson on RUSSIAN TV praising the war criminal mass child kidnapper Putin. A republican representative of Americans praising a cold-blooded killer. He says how Putin and Trump are good friends. This is vile, disgusting and a giant red flag - a warning to all what is going on.
