President Trump is trying to apply enough pressure to force the university to cave, while Harvard, a nearly 400-year-old institution, is aiming to play a long game against an aging president in his final term.

Among them: a puzzling claim that Harvard kids can’t do math.“Did you see that, where the students can’t add two and two and they go to Harvard?” President Trump said on May 23 during an Oval Office briefing.

As the White House moves to revoke Harvard University’s certification to enroll foreign students — escalating a battle between the administration and the oldest and wealthiest college in the U.S. — President Donald Trump is falsely claiming that Harvard offers “remedial mathematics” on topics such as simple addition.
