Trump will address the final class of Alabama University

Tuscaloosa, ala. (AP) – President Donald Trump will travel too strongly republican Alabama On Thursday to speak to graduates from the University of Alabama, where he attracts some demonstrators, even though he enjoys a deep borehole in the state.

Trump's evening rain in Tuscaloosa will be the first speech by the Republican President of graduates in his second term in office, since he celebrated this First 100 days of his administration.

The White House did not indicate any details about Trump's planned message.

Alabama, where Trump won 64% of the votes in 2024, he has organized a number of his large rallies in the past ten years. In his first presidential campaign, Trump showed early signs of strength than he started to fill stadiums for his rallies.

While the White House of Trump described Trump's speech, it is actually a special event that was created before the final ceremonies on Friday. However, graduates have the opportunity to take part in the event, but is not necessary.

The former Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban also speaks at the event.

“Since President Trump marks 100 days in office, there is no better place for him to celebrate the entire profit than in Tuscaloosa, Alabama,” said Governor Kay Ivey, a Republican.

Trump's presence criticized the criticism of Alabama Naacp and the Democrats of the University of Alabama College.

The College Democrats call their own rally as a “flood against Trump” – a piece over the nickname of the university. In the event, the present presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke from Texas and the former US Senator Doug Jones, the last democrat who holds a nationwide office in Alabama will appear.

O'Rourke praised the students who invited him as “inspiring” and initiated their efforts in a state dominated by Republicans like Alabama, an example of the rest of the country.

“You cannot be too red or too rural or too republican to be written off now. You cannot be too blue or too liberal to be taken for granted,” O'Rourke told the Associated Press after he had arrived in Tuscaloosa. “You have to appear absolutely everywhere. We are really in crisis.”

The former congress member and the failed presidential candidate also exhibited the history of civil rights and social justice against the politics of the conservative majority.

“They declined in the history of Alabama 60 years ago, it is John Lewis in March 1965 who creates this march with the help of a Texaner, LBJ, the first really multirassical democracy in American history,” said O'Rourke. “This democracy is currently being attacked. So we are calling Alabama and American history and reminding people that power is with humans.”

The NAACP said Trump's guidelines violate universities and students, especially students of color.

“The decision for color students and really all students should be to skip his speech and spend this time to reflect on how America becomes a more integrative nation,” said Benard Simelton, President of Alabama Naacp.
