Is Donald Trump — or at least someone on his speech-writing staff — working overtime to be relatable to millennials? Perhaps it wasn’t intentional, but it looks like in his commencement speech at Liberty University took a few cues from our favorite fictional lawyer (what can I say, Go Set A Watchman didn’t do Atticus many favors).
Jimmy Fallon has the breakdown:
Keeping Law School Accessible When Federal Loans Fall Short
As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.
Of course, the similar bits of the speech are pretty generic graduation fodder. It’s easy to imagine a room full of monkeys (or just speech writers desperately trying not to get fired) coming up with those words.
And I don’t remember Elle Woods’s screed on the evils of the First Amendment.
