八天前，2025年4月11日，川普總統的政府發給哈佛大學一封信（用電子郵件寄出），說“哈佛不投降就叫你滅亡”（不是這樣說的，前麵引號內的十個字是本老漢的調侃版，^_^），其信的全文鏈接在此：
Letter Sent to Harvard 2025-04-11
此事馬上被哈佛大學公布於世。然後說哈佛不會屈從於此信內的多項無理要求。
天下川普總統的熱情愛好者馬上站隊，愛好者不同於發信的川普政府團隊（美國法律尚在，“不投降就叫你滅亡”是不能出現在正式官方語言中），馬上發出了“哈佛不投降就叫你滅亡”類的叫囂。（例子在咱城內很多，這裏先不列舉了）。
得，最新的消息是，那封八天前的信，是一封“樣品版”，非成型的“實戰用”的確定信件。被一些心情極其激動，對“工農兵學員占領大學”急不可耐（本老漢調侃版，*_*）的稱職政府官員錯誤送出。對此事的紐時報導在此：
Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard - The New York Times
盡管是錯誤發出，但是，哈佛已經回應，生米做成熟飯，川普政府於是用停止聯邦政府的“合同”撥款再回應，並且聲稱要吊銷哈佛大學的“免稅教育機構”來報複。
上麵那篇紐時的最新報導這裏不翻譯了，摘抄兩段在此：
The letter “was signed by three federal officials, placed on official letterhead, was sent from the email inbox of a senior federal official and was sent on April 11 as promised,”Harvard said in a statement on Friday. “Recipients of such correspondence from the U.S. government — even when it contains sweeping demands that are astonishing in their overreach — do not question its authenticity or seriousness.”
The statement added: “It remains unclear to us exactly what, among the government’s recent words and deeds, were mistakes or what the government actually meant to do and say. But even if the letter was a mistake, the actions the government took this week have real-life consequences” on students and employees and “the standing of American higher education in the world.”
而紐時的讀者留言就五顏六色了。其中幾段：
Accidental letters, accidental war plan chats, accidental penguin tariffs have "accidentally" destroyed my 401k and personal net worth. Where can I sign up for accidental insurance. 留言之一。
This is a clown car in the middle of a dumpster fire. When are the Republicans in the House and Senate going to grow up and say enough is enough? What is it going to take? Sending US citizens to the gulag in El Salvador? Russia taking over all of Ukraine? Annexing Greenland? US troops in Canada? The tanking of the global economy? Enough already! This has to stop now! 留言之二。
Wow! Can’t these guys do anything right? I can’t think of a single thing that has happened since Inauguration Day that came off without a hitch. From firing the staff that maintains our nuclear arsenal, to shipping someone to El Salvador who was authorized to stay in the country, to the on again off again tariffs that are tanking the economy, to this fiasco. If we had a Parliamentary system we could throw the lot of them out on their ears.
留言之三。
後注：朋友們複活節快樂。
