Mic Drop: Trump Delivers Commencement Speech at West Point

How would you like to have President Trump as the keynote speaker at your commencement ceremony? Graduates at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point were treated to just that experience on Saturday, as Trump took to the stage in his signature “Make America Great Again” hat to hype up the grads.

The Daily Wire reports:

President Donald Trump was met with countless rounds of applause during his keynote commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Saturday.

During the address, Trump touted the “Golden Age of America,” told the graduates to be proud of their accomplishments, and highlighted numerous cadets for their standout achievements.

“You are winners, every single one of you,” Trump said during the address. “You are the first West Point graduates of the Golden Age of America.”

“We’re getting rid of the distractions and focusing our military on its core mission: crushing America’s adversaries, killing America’s enemies, and defending our great American flag,” Trump continued, according to the New York Post.

“The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, or to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of the gun. The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America anywhere, anytime, and anyplace,” he said.

“My preference always will be to make peace and seek partnership, even with countries with which our differences may be profound,” Trump added.

I think a lot of us are sick of war, I know I am. I don’t want to risk the lives of our troops, and the financial ramifications are also steep. I appreciate Trump’s emphasis on making peace when we can, and noting that it isn’t our job to police the world “at the point of a gun.”

It’s nice to have a commander-in-chief who so clearly loves our military. And judging from the sound of the applause—it seems like they love him, too.
