trump forgot or was too busy to shake the hands of each West Point graduate today

[LetMyPeopleVote]

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 don’t 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 it’s not worth any commentary by the media.
So you know he did well.

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.

1. Nah, he just doesn't want to be around them.

He has shown on multiple occasions that he holds the military in contempt. This is the same motherfucker who threatened to disown his oldest son, if he went and joined the Marines. I'm sure he couldn't wait to get the hell out of there, and away from all of those "suckers and losers."

2. And miss playing golf?

3. My friend's son graduated from the Naval Academy and shook Biden's hand.

The cadets should consider themselves lucky they didn’t have to touch that orange POS.

[viva la]

4. Well, in his speech, he did give them invaluable advice

about avoiding trophy wives.

Something 23-year-olds really need to hear.

[rubbersole]

7. And they're all aware of his infidelity with a porn star (who is awesome)...

...while his trophy wife was home with their newborn. Other than that.

[Blue Owl]

5. What an arrogant, lousy POS

Fuck him.

[dlk]

6. It was by design

Trump is a known germaphobe.

[rubbersole]

8. Except the unprotected infidelity sex.

Those germs are white...

[3catwoman3]

9. And what kind of classless asshole wears a fucking baseball cap while delivering...

...the commencement address at a military academy? What a hick.

[lastlib]

10. I'd say you answered your own question.....

Crime Minister tRump, classless asshole.

[3catwoman3]

11. One of my own neologisms for him - crasshole.

[lastlib]

12. I like it!

NEW: Sources tell me Trump wore a campaign hat to West Point because he was incensed earlier this week when a bald spot showed on camera.

All ego. Zero respect.

What an insecure little man.

14. 'Disrespectful' Trump has another senile moment then fails to shake hands with grads

trump gave a horrible speech and then refused to shake hands with the graduating cadets

After babbling nonsensically about trophy wives during his West Point speech, a disoriented and demented Trump had to be guided offstage— and he forgot to salute or to shake hands with even one grad.

But, tell me again how Sleepy Joe couldn’t do the job.

15. Because shaking a thousand hands would remind him a thousand times he has the hands the size of a ten year old girl.

[Rebl2]

16. More likely

to lazy to shake their hands.
