President Donald Trump was apparently so enraged by a report in the New York Times on Monday claiming he was backing off on his battle with Harvard University that he dug in his heels even further.

A $200 million settlement demand was upped to $1 billion dollars in the wake of the Times‘ article that had reported “Trump Is Said to Have Dropped Demand for Cash From Harvard.”

“Strongly Antisemitic Harvard University has been feeding a lot of ‘nonsense’ to The Failing New York Times. Harvard has been, for a long time, behaving very badly!” the president posted on Truth Social.

The Trump administration maintains that Harvard failed to protect students from harassment and discrimination.

“…This should be a Criminal, not Civil, event, and Harvard will have to live with the consequences of their wrongdoings. … We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University,” Trump posted.

In a second Truth Social post, Trump said:

The Failing New York Times story was completely wrong concerning Harvard University. I hereby demand that the morons that run (into the ground!) the Times’ change their story, immediately. SEE TRUTH BELOW! Also, just like their incorrectly called (by the Times!) Election results, where they got it ALL WRONG, my Poll Numbers are Great! The New York Times coverage of me is so purposely wrong. We will soon see how I do in my lawsuit against these fraudsters! FAKE NEWS!

A Harvard spokesperson did not immediately respond to the Harvard Crimson student newspaper’s request for comment about Trump’s posts.

“University administrators have been refusing any deal that includes a cash payment to the federal government and were instead negotiating the details of a workforce development agreement of up to $500 million,” the Crimson reported.

According to Inside Higher Ed, other universities settled for similar terms: “Brown struck a deal to steer $50 million to workforce development programs in Rhode Island, where it is located. In a related settlement, Cornell agreed to invest $30 million in agricultural research.”

Harvard has won two court battles in its war with the Trump administration. In September, a judge ruled against the administration’s freeze of billion of dollars in federal funding to Harvard University. In June, a judge blocked the administration’s edict banning the Ivy League school from hosting international students.
