When Oprah gives gifts to her audience they are at least real. Trump gave a young girl a fake scholarship.
He announced Janiyah Davis would get a scholarship so she would not have to attend a "failing government school", Trumpspeak for public school. Secretary of "education" Betsy DeVos, who said eliminating public schools is god's plan, cheered. Janiyah looked surprised and had to be told to applaud.
A journalist, I mean enemy of the people, for Philadelphia Inquirer investigated and found Janiyah attends a special math and science high school, one of the top ranked in the state. Because it is a public school, I mean a failing government school full of very bright college bound students, it is free and no scholarship needed. Janiyah and her mother Stephanie Davis had no idea why they had been flown to attend SOTU.
They were props in a reality TV production. To pretend to any wavering white people who might care that Trump isn't really racist.
