I don’t know, that whole stealth thing, I’m sorta wondering. You mean if we shape a wing this way, they don’t see it, but the other way they see it? I’m not so sure.
He thinks stealth planes are supposed to be invisible.

How can an adult be that ignorant?

“We couldn’t get anybody to join our military” … except for the entire class of cadets to whom he was speaking, who joined during the previous administration.

....says the "man" who falsely claimed bone spurs to avoid military service.

I don't think his comments about Alphonse Capone or trophy wives make any particular point. He just babbles at times.

Trump certainly isn't the inspirational speaker that Joe Biden is, although few in history could match Biden's oratory excellence.

I don't begrudge anyone for smartly avoiding that bloodbath that LBJ created.
Oh, but he says he would have gone. Why Donald Trump wasn't drafted to serve in Vietnam

'...has stressed that if he had been called, he would have gone.'

The honourable thing to do would have been to accept that you had to do your duty and serve your country. Or to declare that he objected to the war on principle and would therefore refuse to go. Either way would have been the honourable thing to do. He did neither. He left it to others.

Inviting Trump to address West Point graduates is kind of like asking Rosie O'Donnell to address charm school graduates.


Here’s the president stressing a new era in how our future military leaders should regard our allies.

We’ve been ripped off at the NATO level. We’ve been ripped off like no country has ever been ripped off. But they don’t rip us off anymore. They’re not gonna rip us off anymore. And you’re seeing it. You have to watch what we’re doing on trade. I know it's not your primary thing, but it's quite important in all fairness

Well, having told the graduates that our allies rip us off and we need to be suspicious of them, at least he didn't rap rhapsodically about his love letters with Kim Jong Un or his great friendship with Putin.

I know that sometimes people choose not to "walk" at graduation and just get their diplomas mailed to them. If I'd been a student where Trump was the graduation speaker, that's what I would have done.

It's going to be funny in 50 years when one of these future generals is taking with their grandkids and they want to know more about the graduation speech than what grandpa did during his 40 years in the Army.

There could be a box for Hannibal Lector, another for Capone, one for using the word hoax, and others like for tariffs, Chi-nah, illegals and border. One could be for an incomplete sentence as it seems his speeches are full of them.
A drinking game for run-on sentences would have us all under the table in five minutes.
