Similar to the rest of the country, the Trump Administration has received mixed messages from WVU students.
Many organizations on campus have expressed problems they have with the current administration, and have taken to the streets to show it. The WVU Young Democrats club organized a “Stand Up to Trump” rally in front of the Mountainlair in September, and continue to show their aversion to the actions the administration is taking in public, as well as online. On November 10th 2016, the day Trump was elected, they tweeted out what would be a vague tweet without context. But given the significance of that date, the tweet further shows their disdain for Trump’s administration.
“No matter who runs the country, we still have a voice. As a party we will still fight for what is right. We are still in this together.” @WVUYoungDemocrats
On the other hand, many organizations have also shown their support for Trump. A club named WVU Students for Trump was created following his election, pretty much the most outright display of support possible. The WVU Republicans club not only attends events in support of Trump and the republican party, but their tweets endorse our president as well. One of their tweets even tags the president himself, and praises him for his work.
“President @realDonaldTrump has delivered a game-changer for West Virginia with the China Energy deal. On the campaign, he pledged to fight for the people of West Virginia. Promise made, promise kept.” @WVURepublicans
No matter the organization’s stance on the Trump administration, he's surely a hot topic all around campus. I expect this trend will continue for the rest of his term.
