Most perniciously, it convinces young job seekers that they need a bachelor’s degree or even a graduate degree to succeed.”

Washington, D.C. – PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Thank you very much. My fellow Americans: My first and highest duty as President is to defend our great country and the American people. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation, and that is exactly what I will do.

He will not have died in vain. But we cannot allow the righteous cries and peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob.
