Trump Delivers West Point Commencement, Praising Military Institutions During Unrest | Sunday TODAY

[cardinals]

Imagine any other military draft dodger giving a graduation speech to military graduates lol. Not to mention, he prefers military people who "weren't captured."

[johnj]

The irony... President bone spurs giving a speech at West Point...

[mommaminga]

Peace and blessings everyone. Black or white I ❤ U

Update: I didn't realize my saying I love you black or white would cause so much turmoil for some of you. I honestly didn't even expect a response to my comment, and I just so happened to check my notifications and saw some activity.

Thank you those who simply took this message as love.

For the rest of you to be clear yess all colors matter and I didn't think I needed to list every color race.

So this is for you!
I love you all no matter your race, no matter your political stand, no matter if you hate me, no matter your past, no matter you future. If you are human love is for you!
✊🏻❤✊🏼❤✊🏽❤✊🏾❤✊🏿

Captain bone spurs has no business there.

West Point class of 2020 held hostage by a pocket, degenerate dictator. I hope they learned a whole lot about abuse of power from this and take it to heart. Could be the best class ever.

"Praising military institutions during unrest" Why did they frame this like the military is one of the reasons people are protesting?

[docmalthus]

The only thing I wanted to see was Trump hobbling down the ramp afterward.

[williamwilson]

Any question about his descent into dementia?

[optimisticallycynical.]

Leave it to trump to make the speech about him.

[voixdelaraison]

As a former officer in the military, it makes me sick to see Snuffy Bone Spurs give speeches to our cadets. What an insult.

[madinkan]

Kind of ironic for the guy who ran from service to be doing this.

[deshawnking]

Coward was scared to go to war. My dad didnt have a choice. He laces his boots and did what he had to do.

[kathyradvan]

Allowing a draft Dodger to even step foot on those grounds to give that commencement speech, live in our White House, "pose" as the President of The United States is causing my father a WWII veteran to roll over in his grave. Its shameful!!!

[ddmagee]

I learned in grade school that the military is to defeat enemies, and police are to enforce laws, and you NEVER mix the two!

[jsmcguireIII]

Draft dodger forced graduates to return to campus for his campaign commercial.

[frankieclayton]

This is just so right for a person who is a hypocrite to be saying these things he doesn't live or practice but spread hate attack people lie manipulate deceive people give false information trick.

[euanreid]

I'm sure the bone spur coward impressed them all.

[cryptosherpa]

COVID-19 TRUMP's Great Wall Project was completed this Weekend. It completely Surrounds the Whitehouse..

[eschaefer]

He has disparaged so many military leaders I wonder what the West Point grads truly feel about DJT.

[foreright]

What those poor cadets had to endure for a cap toss. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😂😂😂
