      Their endowment as it sits essentially allows them to operate for something like a decade without any external money. And you can guarantee they’ll get a bump in alumni donations if external funding is removed like that.

      I believe their endowment sits somewhere around $50 billion. They could definitely float for a few years until Trump is out of office.
