Who said it: Donald Trump from Washington, DC…or Elle Woods from Legally Blonde?

May 16: On This Day In 2017

Who delivered this speech better? You be the judge!

Trump gave the 2017 Commencement Address at Liberty University, an arch-conservative religious institution co-founded by Jerry Falwell.

But as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon pointed out, it’s not so obvious who Donald’s speechwriter was.

See for yourself:

We hadn’t seen anything quite like this since Melania Trump re-used Michelle Obama’s speech at the Republican National Convention.

Postscript: Just a few months later, Trump’s behavior had grown so abhorrent that some Liberty University grads started sending their diplomas back to the college. They were embarrassed that their alma mater continued to associate with that president of the United States.
