Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
Harvard
is
a
threat
to
Democracy,
with
a
lawyer,
who
represents
me,
who
should
therefore
be
forced
to
resign,
immediately,
or
be
fired.
He’s
not
that
good,
anyway.
I
hope
that
my
very
big
and
beautiful
company,
now
run
by
my
sons,
gets
rid
of
him
ASAP.

An
excerpt
from
Donald
Trump’s
latest
rant
on
Truth
Social,
where
he
goes
after
Quinn
Emanuel’s
global
co-managing
partner
William
Burck.
Burck
is
currently
representing
Harvard
University
in
its
litigation
against
the
Trump
administration
over
its
multibillion-dollar
research
funding
freeze.
He
also
serves
as
outside
ethics
adviser
for
the
Trump
Organization.
As
noted
by
Bloomberg
Law,
when
Burck
was
hired
for
the
role
in
January,
Eric
Trump
praised
him
as
“one
of
the
nation’s
finest
and
most
respected
lawyers.”
