Original Note:
The claim is false. Account misrepresents a 2017 request from a group of HBCU presidents that asked for 25 billion in federal funding. Trump did sign the FUTURE Act, which made $255 million in annual funding for minority colleges permanent but never came near 25 billion. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/institutions/minority-serving-institutions/2024/07/19/did-trump-really-get-hbcus-all-funded https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/trump-signs-executive-order-black-colleges
