Trump Brags to West Point Grads He Can Do Whatever He Wants Now [View all]
Wearing a red MAGA hat, President Donald Trump said that his election victory means he can do whatever he wants in his commencement speech at West Point on Saturday.
"We had the greatest election victory," Trump told cadets of the elite United States Military Academy. "This was November 5. We won the popular vote by millions of votes. We won all seven swing states. We won everything.… We had a great mandate, and it gives us the right to do what we want to do to make our country great again, and that's what we're going to do."
Although the president loves insulting the military, this time he showered the graduates with praise. He also took credit for creating the military's strength.
"In a few moments, you'll become graduates of the most elite and storied military academy in human history," Trump said. "And you will become officers of the greatest and most powerful army the world has ever known. And I know, because I rebuilt that army, and I rebuilt the military. And we rebuilt it like nobody has ever rebuilt it before in my first term."
