During a lively commencement address at the University of Alabama, the president delivered a performance merging humor and controversy. Highlighting tariffs as a key issue, he asserted their importance in boosting the economy despite backlash from media. He recounted a tale about William Levitt, showcasing entrepreneurial spirit from the past. While cautioning graduates against victim mentality, the speech drew parallels to historical figures like George Wallace, indicating a mixture of comedic and serious undertones amid political discourse, while engaging the audience with personal stories.
Let me tell you a little story about a great real estate developer named William Levitt. He built Levittown. Some of you might live in one.
He did caution the graduates not to behave like victims, and he did not immediately burst into flames.
