Wow. Just a bunch of mindless rambling. I started to get a headache and had to quit. This guy is out of his fucking mind. And yet, absolutely no one calls him on it.

gives us the right to do what we want to do.

Rule of law and the constitution be damned.

(163,500 posts)trump gave a horrible speech and then left without shaking the hands of each graduate. Presidents Obama and Biden each took the time to shake the hand of each graduate
When President Obama spoke at the 2014 West Point commencement ceremony he shook the hand of every single graduate after his speech. Today, Donald Trump gave a speech while wearing a MAGA hat and then left without shaking any hands

I like Presidents who donât use West Point as a political prop.

President Biden spent 70 minutes congratulating, saluting and shaking the hand of each one of the 1,036 West Point graduates, plus gave his speech, but itâs not worth any commentary by the media.

Trump has time to host a dinner for the rich crypto guys who bought his memecoin, but not to shake hands with West Point graduates. Priorities.
