The presidents mood had been low due to going a full week without hearing the applause and adulation that he craves",so he delivered a commencement speech to the graduating students of Liberty University.
You may have heard of Liberty University; it's the school that teaches creationism as a biology course. It can now boast of endorsement by the President of the United States, who today arrogantly violated the very first provision of the First Amendment by establishing fundamentalist Christian beliefs as fact. He told them "But you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe, especially when you know that you're right."

How complicated is it??
It's not like he is some, you know NORMAL, sane human being. He is a stinking shit stain on humanity and is damaging those around him.
Of course, I suspect they are mostly damaging each other as well...

An anti-intellectual school is not a real school and their applause and approval is meaningless. They'd call for whoever they were told to clap for. Fake school for a fake president.

He'll throw another rally to beef himself up if he thinks today's applause was phony.
