Donald Trump bitches about his critics during commencement speech at Liberty University.

Courtesy of ABC News: 

President Trump in a commencement address at Liberty University both went after his critics and emphasized the role faith plays in America. 

“The fact is, no one has achieved anything significant without a chorus of critics standing on the sidelines explaining why it can't be done,” Trump told the crowd in Lynchburg, Virginia, in what was his first commencement speech as president. “Nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic...The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say because they truly believe in their vision.”

It should be noted that virtually NOTHING that Donald Trump promised during his campaign has actual been accomplished, and that it is very unlikely that any of it WILL be accomplished.

It should also be pointed out that Liberty University is probably one of the VERY few universities where Trump could speak without being drowned out by the boos, much like the ones that shut down his Secretary of Education when she tried to deliver a commencement speech to a group not handpicked to stay silent.

After Trump's October visit to Liberty University there was a protest letter issued by some of the students, however verbally protesting a speaker is simply not tolerated in that environment.

However Liberty would seem overall to be the perfect conservative bubble in which Trump can lie to his heart's content, because after all these students have just been lied to for the past four years anyhow. 

Of course Trump advises these students to ignore their critics, because he himself simply cannot handle protests or criticism, that is why he has protesters removed from his rallies, and almost daily attacks his critics on Twitter.
And his advice to these students is of course terrible, because often your critics are simply pointing out that something you are doing is dangerous, foolish, or reckless.

Which I think sums up the Trump presidency in a nutshell.

    Little lying donnie has threatened another person and could be found guilty of obstruction of justice.

    As for his loyalty pledge, this sounds unconstitutional to ask a government official to pledge their loyalty to little donnie. I am sure the FBI director takes a pledge when sworn into office to uphold the constitution and the laws of the country.

    Little lying donnie must not know this because he is now walking back his statement about loyalty pledge in an interview with “Judge what ever her name is “ on Fox that is suppose to air tonight saying he meant loyalty to the country.

    If I got a penny for every time little donnie lied, I would already be a millionaire. In fact I believe the only true statement he has made is “the election was rigged”.

    He has also proven that his press secretaries and the VP are also liars and willing to lie for little donnie.

    Only a fake christian, fake university would have a LYING, fake president for a commence speaker. Did he also pass out copies of the Electoral College map? I guess the students at Liberty University skipped the commandment about Thou Shall Not Lie and of course the one that has to do with adultery.

      Forget trying to understand how evangelicals love Trump & his administration. Here is the reason: they are both totalitarian regimes. Peas in a pod.

      Liberty is a university for kids who were home schooled in a bubble. Ain't a whole lot of critical thinking or credible research going on there. Lots of doctors of divinity and pastoral counseling and bible studies though. And nurses who have to take a class on biblical nursing - whatever the fuck that means. Do they learn how to take care of people who have been crucified or stoned? Burned by fire and brimstone or who have been turned into pillars of salt? WTF??

    "Nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic " - oh, the irony meter is off the charts! How much do you want to bet he would much rather be back being a critic than having to make thoughtful/insightful decisions on a daily/hourly basis? I know, thoughtful/insightful are unknown adjectives to the POS.

      Remember all of the horrible things Trump said about President Obama for eight years. Now he finds himself totally at sea in the White House. What a gargantuan schmuck the 45th president is.

    2. Those poor parents. I admit I have nothing in common with the Liberty community, but on a mommy level it would have been horrifying on my child's big day to hear a massive quivering orange Jell-o congealed salad whimpering about his critics.

      I am still wistful that President Obama spoke at a big U's commencement the year AFTER my eldest (Phi Beta Kappa! Magna cum laude! Etc.!) got his first college diploma!

    OMG, he is the most perfect example there is of a pathetic critic. I mean, what was that speech other than a huge criticism of any and all who ever disparaged him. What was his campaign other than one HUGE criticism of his opponents -- first the others running for the GOP nomination and then Clinton? He has gotten the job he has by being a pathetic critic, so as they say, "it takes one to know one..." What perfect irony! Had I been in the audience I might have laughed out loud.

      Everything he says is projection. He is so pathetically predictably, he is easily manipulated.
      But as his dementia progresses ...his predictableness is going to become more and more erratic and he will be hard to manipulate and expendable.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT STUPID SON OF A BITCH?

    TRUMP ONLY SELECTS UNQUALIFIED PRO-TRUMP ADVOCATES WITH NO EXPERIENCE TO HEAD IMPORTANT JOBS.

    AS LONG AS YOU ARE A PRO-TRUMP ADVOCATE AND PLEDGE YOUR LOYALTY TO TRUMP, THE JOB IS YOURS (EX BETSY DEVOS, BEN CARSON, RICK PERRY, ETC)

    Trump’s Expected Pick for Top USDA Scientist Is Not a Scientist

    The USDA’s research section studies everything from climate change to nutrition. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, its leader is supposed to serve as the agency’s “chief scientist” and be chosen “from among distinguished scientists with specialized or significant experience in agricultural research, education, and economics.”

    Sam Clovis likely to be named undersecretary of the USDA department that manages research on everything from climate change to nutrition.

    ....But Sam Clovis — who, according to sources with knowledge of the appointment and members of the agriculture trade press, is President Trump’s pick to oversee the section — appears to have no such credentials.

    Clovis has never taken a graduate course in science and is openly skeptical of climate change. While he has a doctorate in public administration and was a tenured professor of business and public policy at Morningside College for 10 years, he has published almost no academic work.

    Clovis is better known for hosting a conservative talk radio show in his native Iowa and, after mounting an unsuccessful run for Senate in 2014, becoming a fiery pro-Trump advocate on television.

      Of course he has no credentials -- and he probably shorter than Trump (the only other qualification).

    How is it a "fake media" when you're on video, donnie? We all know that you're as Christian as the Wasilla Wendingo. Please keep tweeting; just like her, you dig yourself a bigger hole.

    By any chance, did Trump give his "Two Corinthians walked into a bar" commencement speech at the Liberty University graduation?

    Did Trump brag about his electoral college win during the speech? He probably thinks he should get an honorary degree for having won (bigly too) in the electoral "college."

    IN ORDER TO DISTRACT FROM THE TRUMP/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/IMPEACHMENT, WILL TRUMP START A WAR AGAINST NORTH KOREA?


    Washington Post:
    North Korea launches ballistic missile, South Korea says

    The projectile apparently flew from a launch site near the North Korean border with China some 450 miles into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

    Pathetic trump uses a religious school to lie, cheat and steal elections. The man is faithless. Scientology is not a religion, it is a cult.
