Trump statement on Chinese students- 500k on the way
I am not believing this is accurate. Trump isn't principled in the way I'd like him to be, but he'd have to be out of his mind to agree to something like this.
Fake news until proven otherwise.

I asked Grok if there was a new program inviting 500k Chinese students.
Grok said you guys are fricking retards and should seek therapy.
There's video of this:
Trump: “We have 500,000 Chinese students coming in.
So...IS the video AI? Or real?
By the way, Grok can be be erroneous, wrong OR even lying as well.
I'm still NOT relying on Wiki or "Grok" for any truth until there's further multiple confirmation.

The “500k” figure and Trump’s pro-student stance have been floating around for at least a week, so this seems more like a delayed or recycled outrage rather than a response to something new today. Without direct sources from the forum or new reports, it’s hard to pin down the exact trigger, but it smells like typical rage bait fueled by selective reading of Trump’s comments.

Is it possible that he misspoke and we'll be getting the number up to 500K? I can't imagine we'd have 500K additional Chinese coming in one year.

No you asked grok about Tigerdroppings response to this. Ask grok about Trumps statement without including TD.

When Trump referred to “500,000 Chinese students,” he was likely exaggerating or misstating the number of Chinese students in the U.S. as part of comments made around June 2025. According to posts on X from June 12, 2025, Trump said, “We have 500,000 Chinese students coming in. I’ve always been in favor of it,” and expressed support for allowing them to stay. These remarks appear tied to a trade deal announcement with China, where he mentioned allowing Chinese students to continue attending U.S. colleges as part of an agreement with Xi Jinping. The actual number of Chinese students in the U.S. for the 2023-2024 academic year was 277,398, per the Open Doors 2024 Report, significantly lower than 500,000. The figure Trump cited may have been a rhetorical flourish or a conflation with total international students (1,126,690 in 2023-2024). His comments followed a May 2025 policy under Secretary of State Marco Rubio to “aggressively revoke” Chinese student visas, particularly for those linked to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields, which sparked controversy and fears among students. Trump’s June statements seemed to soften this stance, possibly to align with trade negotiations, though no evidence suggests a specific plan to admit 500,000 students. The context suggests Trump was addressing ongoing debates about Chinese student visas, national security concerns, and economic ties with China, but the “500k” figure lacks a clear factual basis.
TLDR: we have at least 4 Melt Threads over something that literally never happened (500k on the way)

I did some searching and not a single media outlet is reporting this. All I see is 2 or 3 twitter accounts. This appears to be fake news. OP needs to be banned if so.

Lol. What a swing and a miss.

That's John Barron level sad.

+90% of the CCP approved students in the US are not studying DEI and other Marxist crapola....they are focused on STEM and research and they take that knowledge back to China.
And they take it back to be used against us. Not to mention the spying and theft that they are involved in while they are here.
Every CCP student has a CCP handler they must be subjected to for grilling.

Makes sense. Trump is capable of disappointing but 500K Chinese students would be off the charts stupid.

I realize that deep fakes are a thing but this doesn't appear to be fake
BTW there are several news articles talking about Trump letting in Chinese students in exchange for getting rare earth minerals from China

Trump's Day One dedication and pronouncement of the trillion dollar Stargate / Palantir AI Data project should have raised more eyebrows here.
IF this is real, we might want to take a better look at whether "MAGA" is as advertised (Or not) and be ready to call stuff out.

He has talked about international students being educated here and staying here before.
But I don’t want that to be a bunch of Chinese. Take a mixture from other Asian countries if you must. Just not China.

But not one mentions 500,000. Not a single one. Can you link a legitimate network? You know, one that is subject to a lawsuit if they report such a false e claim?

A comment from Trump in the middle of a press conference does not equal policy.
Literally the only people melting like bitches over this are X engagement farms and TDS riddled retards of the PTB.
What do you think iss more likely, “500k are coming” means that 270k are coming every year as they have been for years and he exaggerated the number a bit for whatever reason or that he has some secret plan that nobody knows about to bring in 500k. NEW Chinese students.
Your melts are hilarious though. Every day something new.
