President Donald Trump defended his controversial plan to bring hundreds of thousands of Chinese students into the country on Monday, declaring, “I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else.”
During an interview with Trump on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, host Laura Ingraham grilled the president over his plan to bring in more foreign students to keep American universities afloat.
“A lot of MAGA folks are not thrilled about this idea of hundreds of thousands of foreign students in the United States,” said Ingraham. “You’ve said as many as 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States. Why, Sir, is that a pro-MAGA position when so many American kids want to go to school and there are places not for them, and these universities are getting rich off Chinese money?”
Trump responded, “We do have a lot of people coming in from China, and we always have. China and other countries. We also have a massive system of colleges and universities, and if we were to cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business.”
“So? So what?” shot back Ingraham.

“Well, I think it’s a big deal,” replied Trump.
The conversation continued:
Ingraham: Are they fans of the United States?
Trump: Yeah but you would have, as you know, historically black colleges and universities would all be out of business. You would have a system of colleges and universities–
Ingraham: So we’re dependent on China to keep our university system going?
Trump: No, not China, but I actually think it’s good to have outside countries– Look, I want to be able to get along with the world.
Ingraham: They’re not the French, they’re the Chinese. They spy on us, they steal our intellectual property.
Trump: You think the French are better?
Ingraham: Yeah.
Trump: Really? I’ll tell you, I’m not so sure. We’ve had a lot of problems with the French where we get taxed very unfairly on our technology. You know, they put 25% taxes on American products. Look, assuming everyone treats us badly because that’s the way I am, but we’re taking trillions of dollars from students. You know, the students pay more than double when they come in from most foreign countries. I want to see our school system thrive.
Trump insisted, “It’s not that I want them, but I view it as a business.”
He then concluded, “You don’t want to cut half of the people, half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country, destroy our entire university and college system. I don’t want to do that, and don’t forget MAGA was my idea. MAGA was nobody else’s idea. I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else, and MAGA wants to see our country thrive.”
In August – just months after claiming that a lot of foreign students couldn’t even do basic math – Trump announced his intention to give 600,000 visas to Chinese and other foreign students.
The announcement received heavy backlash from supporters online, including informal White House adviser Laura Loomer and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
