In a bold move that is dripping with irony and lack of foresight, the entire Fulbright scholarship board just resigned because they can’t stand the heat President Trump is bringing to the stovetop. This wasn’t just a couple of disgruntled members—we’re talking all 12 of them marching out in protest. Their teary-eyed farewell letter claims the Trump administration is steering the ship away from its precious course. They huff and puff about the administration’s audacity to actually scrutinize who gets these scholarships, making sure they align with America’s best interests. Oh, the horror!
Their dramatic exit revolves around one fundamental truth: they despise the idea of American interests front and center in the Fulbright program. The board was apparently appalled by the government’s decision to, wait for it, do background checks! Yes, these checks are episodes of due diligence that ensure our national security is not compromised by who walks in and out of our educational institutions.
Let’s be real for a second. The Fulbright program was originally meant to uplift both American and foreign scholars in a fair exchange of knowledge. Yet, under these board members’ watch, it seems to have morphed into an agenda-pushing vehicle, serving liberal elites and their globalist playbook. Their claim that the administration’s actions erode America’s credibility abroad? Laughable. These folks need to wake up and realize that the priority should be safeguarding American values and fortifying our national security. Trump’s administration is tightening the reins, ensuring foreign recipients don’t harbor anti-American sentiments—a step you’d think would be common sense.
"Good. If vetting foreign students for national security makes them quit, they were never serving America to begin with. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out". They are all Democrats. Good to get rid of them. https://t.co/pbiTZbys4d

The best part is the elites on social media flailing in despair, but all they’re doing is proving once again they’re out of touch with what ordinary Americans want—safety, security, and fairness. Vetting students who come to America is not just prudent; it’s essential. If that’s enough for the board to resign en masse, perhaps they were never truly committed to America’s interests in the first place. Their departure is their admission of misplaced priorities, not ours.
This episode is a salutary reminder that when push comes to shove, liberal hypocrisy has a chokehold on organizations once thought untouchable by common sense. Maybe it’s time for a new board, one that puts America first and doesn’t cringe at the idea of maintaining high standards for the country. And here’s the kicker—if they can’t handle Trump’s America-first policies, maybe it’s not the system that needs fixing, but their own outmoded worldview.
