LYNCHBURG, Va. The president of what heralds itself as the worlds largest Christian university, who declared during the 2016 presidential election that he was convinced that Donald Trump is a Christian, conferred an honorary doctorate upon the nations leader on Saturday during his visit as commencement speaker.
Standing in front of a backdrop bearing the motto Training Champions for Christ, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. presented a Doctorate of Laws degree to Trump, joined by Chief Academic Officer Dr. Ronald Hawkins.
In recognition of President Trumps commitment to his country and to the citizens who have been forgotten by their own government, and for his unwavering determination to make America great again, and in acknowledgement of his bold leadership of our nation, with the powers vested in me by the board of trustees of Liberty University, the Doctorate of Laws degree is hereby conferred upon Donald J. Trump, he declared.
Falwell also praised the president during his introduction, telling the thousands gathered that he believes no other president in his lifetime has done so much that has benefited the Christian community in such a short time span.

Liberty has expanded incredibly since Jerry died. It blocks out the horizon on ft. 460 and they are adding a new fieldhouse or covered track. They've had a fake ski slope for years.
Liberty people have infiltrated much around here. The "Training Champiions...." isvreally spot on. Heavily entitled mid level personnel who consistently are horrible at their jobs but with their growing network will surely move up.
