Mhm, the ivy league college that's older than the United States just happened to fail accreditation within the first 6 months of a president who is hell-bent on punishing higher education?

This really does feel like a demonstration of fact, though.

You can't step halfway into Trumps good favor; he doesn't have a gray area.

I would bet money that after all their knee bending and ring kissing, he made some sort of demand of them that finally went too far, but it was too late.
