Kerry: Diverse graduating class is 'Trump's worst nightmare'

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told college graduates on Friday their diversity is “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare” and it’s their job to confront global issues ranging from terrorism to climate change. […]

“You really do look spectacular,” Kerry told the (Northeastern University) graduates. “I want you to just look around you. Classmates from every race, religion, gender, shape, size. Eighty-five countries represented and dozens of languages spoken. You are the most diverse class in Northeastern’s history. In other words, you are Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.” […]

A Department of State spokesman said Kerry’s comment about Trump was only a joke intended to lighten up the audience. But Kerry, later in his speech, appeared to take another shot at Trump without calling him out by name.

“We will never come out on top if we accept advice from soundbite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on earth can remain great by looking inward and hiding behind walls,” Kerry said, again drawing applause. …

Kerry is making it very easy for me to get more fully behind Trump.

Good grief - they're apparently very obsessed about Trump. At the pace they're going pretty soon he'll be equated with Hitler.

“Diverse” populations are just so very successful, aren’t they? Our diversity is our strength! That’s why things get so much better the more diversity we add.

This is simply liberalism coming into fruition. For years, liberals have indoctrinated parents into telling their kids that they need to go to college, so they don’t have to work in factories for their lives like their father. These young adults are completely brainwashed, they’re taking these useless courses that have no practicality in real life.

My best friend was attending her nephew’s graduation today at Northeastern. Oh boy, I’ll bet it was all she could do not to boo horse face. She despises him.

We need to be more diverse. Liberals are the real racists. Hispanics and blacks are natural conservatives because .... of reasons.

ppppggghhhttt ..... Come on Trump, that doesn't sound like all that scary of a nightmare. I once dreamed I peeled back my face and spiders came out. That was my worst nightmare, way scarier that a bunch of college kids graduating.

They already have. Found this on facebook:

On the topic of Trump's ascendancy, I've heard a number of people--educated white American males--say that maybe we should just let it happen, that if that's what we vote for, that's what we deserve.

My friends share my disgust, but here's the question: who are "we"? Minorities? The poor? The perennially disenfranchised? African-Americans? Hispanics? Muslims? I'll be fine. In a Trump economy, maybe I'll be able to afford servants. Hooray for me.

But as Daniel Menaker said years ago, since WWII, the world has been divided into Nazis and Jews. Let us please all outnumber the Nazis in the years to come.

Pushing a false “narrative” to label Trump as racist. Sewer politics.
