The Internet is in Hysterics Over ‘Trump Commencement Address’ — Speculating What Trump Would Say to Graduates

By

Imagine an entire nation getting together to celebrate some very young adults who truly were denied an important rite of passage. Because the nation’s high school seniors didn’t get to have their own graduation ceremony, the nation threw one for them on every channel worth mentioning with loads of beautiful music and messages.

Now imagine how such an endeavor could come together without anyone having thought to invite the current president of the United States to send a message, nor did the current president of the United States pass along a nice message to be aired – if he had done a 20 second, “I want to congratulate all the high school seniors out there …” It would have been aired.

What does that say about this nation? What does it say that the “obvious commencement address speaker” would be the former president? And I think that even those of us who agree that George W. Bush was a terrible president, could also agree that W. Bush would have handled the same task with almost as much grace. (Very few are as good as Obama, but that’s not the point. George W. Bush would’ve done very well).

Anyway, this morning one of the funniest Twitter trends in ages is mowing people down into shreds of giggles, and it is only right to pass them along to a wider audience:

We give you, Twitter’s speculation as to how the “Trump Commencement Address” would have sounded:

Nice, he does have a “natural ability” for that stuff – meaning saying stupid things.

Ha, and how topical?

Ugly truth.

Another ugly truth, and one that far too many young people are actually learning from him.

He should never be allowed to live that down.

Ha.

Lots more at any of the tweets. It is sad that Trump didn’t seem to want to participate. But had the country held a national prom, Trump would have been trying to MC that thing so hard … and a court order would’ve been obtained to keep him away.
