八天前，2025年4月11日，川普总统的政府发给哈佛大学一封信（用电子邮件寄出），说“哈佛不投降就叫你灭亡”（不是这样说的，前面引号内的十个字是本老汉的调侃版，^_^），其信的全文链接在此：
Letter Sent to Harvard 2025-04-11
此事马上被哈佛大学公布于世。然后说哈佛不会屈从于此信内的多项无理要求。
天下川普总统的热情爱好者马上站队，爱好者不同于发信的川普政府团队（美国法律尚在，“不投降就叫你灭亡”是不能出现在正式官方语言中），马上发出了“哈佛不投降就叫你灭亡”类的叫嚣。（例子在咱城内很多，这里先不列举了）。
得，最新的消息是，那封八天前的信，是一封“样品版”，非成型的“实战用”的确定信件。被一些心情极其激动，对“工农兵学员占领大学”急不可耐（本老汉调侃版，*_*）的称职政府官员错误送出。对此事的纽时报导在此：
Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard - The New York Times
尽管是错误发出，但是，哈佛已经回应，生米做成熟饭，川普政府于是用停止联邦政府的“合同”拨款再回应，并且声称要吊销哈佛大学的“免税教育机构”来报复。
上面那篇纽时的最新报导这里不翻译了，摘抄两段在此：
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.”
而纽时的读者留言就五颜六色了。其中几段：
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。
后注：朋友们复活节快乐。
