CLEVELAND, Ohio — Army veteran Jacob Smathers is celebrating after President Donald Trump signed the "Forever GI Bill" into law earlier this month, sources confirmed today.

"Man is this a huge relief," Smathers told reporters. "I was beginning to think I'd have to actually find a real job. This gives me some breathing room to sit back and focus on my education."

Although Smathers has not yet picked a major course of study, he has earned about eight different Associate's Degrees.
