President Trump declared Thursday that the University of Alabama's spring graduation class was the first class in the “golden age of America” and that students could become the “largest generation” of Americans.
“You've won a lot, it's good to win,” Trump said in the class of 2025 at a university known for its great power athletic program. “But today I also ask you to look forward to something very bright and more promising.”
“And that will be even more promising tomorrow. I promise you that.”
“You are the first graduation class of America's golden age,” declared Trump.
The president made his historic propaganda from his first three months before the White House as a beacon of what the future holds.
“100 days, yesterday, 100 days…and we did something that no one thought was possible,” Trump continued.
“You are graduating in an exciting time for our country,” he added. “A period of both extraordinary change and incredible possibilities.”
The president predicted that new alumni would be “quickly” seeing “incredible growth” within the country.
“You'll see it start very quickly. The whole world is talking about it,” Trump said.
The prime minister's commander then expressed optimism that the graduates could become part of the “largest generation” of Americans whom they have ever lived in.
“I think you have the chance to become the biggest generation in our country's history, because we're turning that around,” Trump said.
The president was featured by legendary former Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban.
“It's a special moment for me,” the coach, who won the seven-time national championship, said of introducing Trump.
“But I've come to be honest with you,” Saban added. “I feel like a warm-up band from the Rolling Stones.”
Trump's speech shows that the University of Alabama gave its opening lecture for the graduation celebration for the first time in 18 years.
The last starting speaker offered by the school was Alabama businessman James T. Stevens in the spring of 2007, who used the platform to criticize the US war in Iraq. Tuscaloosa News.
Prior to his remarks, Trump has shown he is looking forward to speaking at “the greatest university in Alabama.”
“They put all nine graduations in one, so I'm doing well,” the president wrote about the true society. “These are ridiculous people. I won the state with 45 points.”
“There's no pressure!”
Trump's arrival was billed by the university as a “special opening speech” that would not affect the formal graduation ceremony planned until the weekend
“The graduate school name was announced and the university-specific opening ceremony was previously planned, where the degree awarded was still scheduled for May 2-4,” the university said.
Alabama, including law school, has graduated about 6,700 students this spring.
