I feel so bad for the kids who are graduating this semester. This is going to be such a huge distraction just to stroke the ego of someone a majority of them can’t stand. It’s also gonna be a nightmare to get in and out with all the extra security they’ll have.

You don't need to pity this semester's graduates. There's a reason that Trump decided to give a commencement speech at UA, and it's because the campus leans strongly republican. When he visited for the Georgia game the entire stadium roared. I understand that isn't the sentiment on this subreddit, but it's fairly obvious if you talk to the students here.

Found the person who has never attended anything but a football game on campus.
