Trump to Be Liberty University's Graduation Commencement Speaker

President Donald Trump will be the commencement speaker for the May graduation ceremony at the prominent Virginia evangelical Christian school Liberty University.

The Christian Broadcasting Network broke the news Wednesday morning that President Trump will return to Liberty, having spoken there last year during the Republican primary season.

"I look forward to speaking to this amazing group of students on such a momentous occasion," said Trump to CBN News.

"Our children truly are the future and I look forward to celebrating the success of this graduating class as well as sharing lessons as they embark on their next chapter full of hope, faith, optimism, and a passion for life."

Trump spoke at the Lynchburg, Virginia-based University in January 2016 as a speaker at one of their regular convocation events for students.

According to many sources including National Public Radio, Trump's performance was awkward and included mislabeling the book Second Corinthians as "Two Corinthians."

I hope this happens, and without any major negative incident.
Expect this school to be put under heavy, unrelenting pressure to disinvite the president. At first, the school will be requested to consider changing their plans. Very soon after that, the hysterical threats will commence.

All I can suggest is the university should name and shame any people who issue death threats or statements of violence.
Be sure there are enough prepared security guards around, ready to step in if need be. The security guards should not stand passively on the side lines, watching conservatives get
bashed over the head.

I'd love to see him speak at at least one of the Service Academies.
