Trump Jr. Booed by College Students: "The Whole Country Rejects You"

Faced backlash from some students at a law school fundraising event

U.S. President Donald Trump’s eldest son was reportedly booed after the ruling Republican Party suffered a crushing defeat in this year’s midterm elections. The incident took place at a fundraising event on a university campus.

According to local media outlets, including The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on Nov. 10 local time, Donald Trump Jr. attended a fundraising event for the Omid Malik Law Scholarship at Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia, on Nov. 4, the day after the midterm elections.

Trump Jr. previously served as a partner at 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm founded by attorney Omid Malik, and reportedly attended the fundraising event without prior notice.

However, the students who saw him reacted coolly. Zara Abdullah, a law school student, shouted at him, “The whole country is rejecting you. We took control of the Senate and the House.” After security personnel and a security guard escorted Abdullah out of the event venue, several students followed him out.

Trump Jr. said nothing. Malik, who was with him that day, reportedly defended him, saying, “Students who behave like that have no future,” and “Trump Jr. is a friend I’m proud of.”

Emory University is one of Georgia’s leading private universities, and its law school is particularly well-regarded, ranking among the top 40 in the United States.

Meanwhile, Republicans suffered the humiliation of losing key offices, including governorships, in the midterm elections. The outlet commented, “Trump Jr. got a taste of the crushing defeat suffered by his father, President Trump, and the Republican Party on a university campus.”
