I feel sorry for these graduates.
**********
President Donald Trump said will deliver commencement addresses this spring at the University of Alabama and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point.
Trump shared the news in a social media post late Monday night.
Trump spoke at seven commencement ceremonies during his first term as president from 2016-20, according to USA Today, including at West Point in June 2020.
Alabama Sen. Katie Britt issued a statement Tuesday saying Trumps commencement speech at Alabama will be a historic occasion.
Thrilled @POTUS will deliver the 2025 commencement address at the University of Alabama, Britt wrote in a post to X. What a tremendous honor for my alma mater. Looking forward to a historic occasion for graduates and their families. Roll Tide!
