President Donald Trump announced he will deliver commencement addresses at the University of Alabama and the United States Military Academy, drawing both excitement and disapproval. Some students, like Katie Bennett, expressed shame about Trump's selection due to the state's political landscape. Alabama officials, including Governor Kay Ivey, celebrated the news as a historic occasion. While presidential commencement speeches at military academies are common, this event in Alabama, a state with strong Trump supporters, is less typical. The graduations are scheduled for May 3-4 for Alabama and May 24 for West Point.
"I have agreed to do the Commencement Address at two really GREAT places ... Stay tuned for times and dates!!!"
"The University of Alabama is honored to have been selected as one of the universities President Donald J. Trump will visit to deliver a spring commencement address."
