President Trump: In a few moments, you will become graduates of the most elite and storied military academy in human history, and you will become officers in the greatest and most powerful army the world has ever known, and I know because I rebuilt that army, and I rebuilt the military.
West Point: Large cheer!
President Trump: Eight cadets here today took on the challenge of designing their own hypersonic rocket…we're building 'em right now. You know, we had ours stolen. We are the designer of it. We had it stolen during the Obama administration. They stole it. You know who stole it? The Russians stole it. Something bad happened.
President Trump: All the victories that you've had together on these grounds will soon pale in comparison to the momentous deeds that you'll perform, on the mission that you're accepting today, and as the future leader of America's Army.
President Trump: Each of you is entering the Officer Core at a defining ,moment in the army's history. For at least two decades, political leaders from both parties have dragged our military into missions that was never meant to be. It wasn't meant to be. People would say, why are we doing this? Why are we wasting our time, money, and souls, in some cases? They sent our warriors on nation-building crusades, to nations that wanted nothing to do with us, led by leaders that didn't have a clue, in distant lands, while abusing our soldiers with absurd ideological experiments, here, and at home. All of that's ended, you know that. It's ended strongly. They're not even allowed to think about it anymore. They subjected the Armed Forces to all manner of social projects and political causes, while leaving our borders undefended, and depleting our arsenals to fight other countries wars. We fought for other countries borders, but we didn't fight for our own border. But now we do. Like we have never fought before, by the way. But under the Trump administration, those days ar over. We're getting rid of the distractions, and we're focusing our military on it's core mission, crushing America's adversaries, killing America's enemies, and defending out Great American Flag like it's never been defended before.The job if 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 on a gun. The military's job is to dominate any foe, and annihilate any threat to America, any time and any place.
President Trump: We've liberated our troops from divisive and demeaning political trainings. There will be no more critical race theory or transgender for everybody forced onto our brave men and women in uniform, or on anybody else, for that matter, in this country.
