Trump: Some of you have even pushed the limits a bit too much. So for any cadets who have not finished walking off their hours, as commander in chief, I hear by absolve all cadets on restriction for minor conduct offenses, and that is effective immediately. Congratulations. That’s a nice one, isn’t it? Don’t you feel better now? Surviving the 47 month experience is never easy, but only the class of 2020 can say it survived 48 months. And when it comes to bragging rights, no one can boast louder than the class that brought Navy’s 14 year football winning streak to a screeching halt. You did that. I happened to be there.

I happened to be there. That’s right. That was a big day. I was there. You beat Navy and brought the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy back to West Point for two straight years. So we say, “Go, Army, go.” This graduating class secured more than 1000 victories for the Black Knights, including three bowl victories, 13 NCAA team appearances and a woman’s rugby championship, with the help of somebody that I just met, 2019 MVP, Sam Sullivan. Fantastic job. Thank you. Fantastic.

Tomorrow, America will celebrate a very important anniversary, the 245th birthday of the United States Army. Unrelated, going to be my birthday also. I don’t know if that happened by accident. Did that happen by accident [inaudible 00:24:59], but it’s a great day because of that Army birthday

    Transcript from 5 years ago isn’t super relevant at this point.

    But… Politics also doesn’t have a “last 30 days” rule like News and World, so I’ll allow it for now.

    Might be interesting to compare with any speech he gives this year.

    This bozo thinks he’s going to have the entire military in his side this time so he can remain in office.

    I bet 80-90% of the military knows this guy is a scumbag and he has authoritarian plans.

    I can’t stand Joe Biden but he said your duty is to the constitution I think people will follow that when Trump tries to use the military next election.
