ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel claimed on Tuesday to uncover the true reason for President Donald Trump’s fight with Harvard: Harvard rejecting him back when he was a student. The only problem for Kimmel was his source was disgraced author Michael Wolff.

Kimmel began, “Trump is actively waging war against Harvard University, which seems to be one of the very few institutions with integrity right now. They are fighting back. Although, according to CNN, a lot of other colleges have begun quietly negotiating to avoid the president's wrath. I hear Brown University just changed their name to Orange to appease him.”

Moving on to Wolff, Kimmel added, “Trump right now is pushing back against a story from the best-selling author of multiple Trump tell-alls, Michael Wolff, who says the real reason he's going after Harvard is they didn't accept him when he was a student.”
