- Cherise Trump is used to questions about her last name. As the executive director of Speech First, a nonprofit that defends the First Amendment rights of college students, Trump has been answering them ever since she took her husband’s surname in 2017.

- But now, one liberal arts school is pressing her to purchase event insurance before setting foot on campus, citing her name as a security threat.
