“United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is the commencement speaker for the U.S. Military Academy Class of 2026 graduation ceremony at West Point.” The ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. From the
internet.

that Trump was going to deliver graduation remarks at West Point.

Hegseth is now publicized as the Speaker.

However, to make things interesting, Trump is supposed to be having an event in nearby Suffern, NY at Rockland Community College right now, if he hasn't already finished.

If I weren't worried about defamation, I'd make a comment about how he'd be treated at Good Samaritan Hospital should something untoward should happen today.
