In short, the alleged Truth Social ( archived) post was real. On March 4, 2025, Trump indeed posted "all federal funding will stop for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests," without providing specifics. Therefore, we have labeled this claim correctly attributed. The post read in full:

U.S. President Donald Trump said he wanted to cut the federal funding of colleges that allow what he called "illegal protests" in a social media post that civil rights groups called an attack on the freedoms of speech and assembly.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would be cutting federal funding for colleges and schools that allow “illegal” protests.

President Donald Trump lashed out against Democrats Wednesday night for the antics they pulled at his address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday. Trump took to Truth Social to flame his opposition and urge the Republican Party to use his Tuesday night speech as fuel for future elections.

While Rep. Al Green was escorted out after an outburst, his Democratic colleagues largely opted for quieter forms of opposition to Trump on Tuesday night.
