Trumps West Point Speech Insulted All VETS on Memorial Day Weekend
Full of Himself Trump BUSTED For Fleeing Cadets at West Point MSNRAW 26 MAY ![]() Donald Trumps commencement speech to cadets at West Point on Saturday, he broke with tradition by leaving immediately after. Following the speech, which has become notable for the president discussing the usefulness of trophy wives, Trump was escorted off stage and left without taking part in either saluting or shaking hands with graduating cadets as previous presidents have done This was more to do with Trumps EGO than the cadets ![]() Trump skipped the tradition of past presidents who shake the hand of each graduate as they receive their diploma. In fact, last year, President Biden stood for more than an hour and returned the salute of over 1000 West Point graduates. Trumps West Point Speech Insulted All VETS & Gave a Very Weird Speech at West Point You may assume that derision of drag shows would not come up in a commencement address at the prestigious US Military Academy known as West Point but you would be wrong. In a nearly hour long speech by Donald Trump on Saturday at the academy in New York his second time speaking there Trump also trashed diversity, equity, and inclusion policies; took credit for rebuilding the military; and cast himself as an unfairly PERSECUTED VICTIM who beat the odds by becoming president for a second time. Trumps racist provocations will lead to violence. Its what he wants Curiously, he made no mention of his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth a former Fox News host accused of alcoholism, mismanagement, and sexually inappropriate behavior and rape, which Hegseths lawyer has denied or the recent classified war plans that Hegseth infamously shared in a Signal chat. There were a few moments of normalcy in the commencement speech Trump praised the students accomplishments, congratulated a few standout students in particular, told them to thank their parents; and urged them to never give up. But they were sandwiched in between multiple bizarre comments from Trump, some of which are excerpted below, alongside fact checks: 'The job of the US Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun' Under the Biden administration, Department of Defense officials said military bases could not host drag shows, though reportedly there is no evidence federal funds were ever used for such events so its unclear what Trump was referring to. 'We are buying you new airplanes, brand new, beautiful planes, redesigned planes, brand new planes, totally stealth planes. I hope they're stealth.' I dont know, that whole stealth thing, Im sorta wondering. You mean if we shape a wing this way, they dont see it, but the other way they see it? Im not so sure. Trump conspicuously did not mention the $400 million luxury jet his administration formally accepted from Qatar this week, despite the objections of Republicans and Democrats who worry that doing so violates the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution and that the plane will lack proper security measures to prevent surveillance
