Trump demands colleges 'vanquish the radicals' and says it was 'beautiful' to watch the NYPD raid anti-Israel Columbia University camp at wild Wisconsin rally

Former President Donald Trump was back on the campaign trail where he slammed the pro-Palestine protesters and called on colleges to 'vanquish the radicals' at his first rally since his hush money trial began more than two weeks ago.

'You saw it last night. That's one good thing that really happened,' Trumps said after New York City police cracked down on protesters who had occupied Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. 

Speaking at a rally in Waukesha, WI on Wednesday afternoon, the ex-president said 'New York was under siege last night.' 

The New York Police Department confirmed that 119 people were arrested at Columbia after cops moved in to clear protestors from the occupied building and a nearby encampment.

'The radical extremists and far left agitators are terrorizing college campuses,' Trump said. 

The ex-president urged college presidents to 'remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all the normal students who want a safe place from which to learn.'

Hundreds of officers stormed the campus, with officers going through an upstairs window at the historic building, after students barricaded the entrance.

Trump went after the university president slamming 'a woman' for waiting so long and being 'so weak.'

'They could have done this with the tents and it would have gone quickly, and no problem,' Trump said.  'But they did an incredible job. They went into one of the big buildings, a big landmark building. Boy, it got the hell beat out of it last night.'

He called the clearing of Columbia a 'beautiful thing to watch - New York's finest.'

The former president praised police across the country and said he's going to give police 'their power back.'

During the event, Trump claimed that Biden is nowhere to be found and mocked the president.

The White House on Tuesday condemned the pro-Palestine Columbia University protesters who stormed Hamilton Hall and unfurled a banner that read 'intifada.'

'President Biden has stood against repugnant, Antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric his entire life. He condemns the use of the term "intifada," as he has the other tragic and dangerous hate speech displayed in recent days,' spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com.

Trump's visit to the battleground state as Trump's first campaign rally since the hush money trial began more than two weeks ago. The president is charged with falsifying business records to cover up payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. 

Court is out on Wednesdays which allows the ex-president to hit the campaign trail for the day.

Trump's visit to Wisconsin is his second in just over a month. Recent polls show an extremely close race in the battleground state. The latest  CBS News and Emerson polls from April show Trump with a slight edge but within the margin of error. The Fox News poll last month showed the race in a dead heat.

From Wisconsin, Trump was also headed to Michigan on Wednesday for a second event.
