While speaking to a "beautiful" 4th grade class in Florida on Friday, Trump asked the kids where they wanted to go to college. One student, 10-year-old Janayah, told the president she had her hopes set on Johns Hopkins University. "Want to be a doctor, is that why Johns Hopkins?" Trump said, per a pool report. The next student Trump spoke to shared her dream to "open her own business."
