President Trump traveled from the White House to Annapolis, Maryland Friday morning to give the commenement address for the 2018 U.S. Naval Academy graduating class.
"You are now leaders in the most powerful and righteous force on the face of the planet: the United States military," President Trump said to a stadium filled with 30,000 people. "Each of you will make your own mark on the Navy, the Marine Corps, the military, and the history of our great nation...There is no hill our Marines our can’t take and there is no stronghold the SEALs can’t breach. There is no sea the Navy can’t brave."
"Together you are the tip of the spear, the edge of the blade and the front of the shield defending and protecting our great country," he continued. "America is the greatest fighting force for peace, justice, and freedom in the history of the world."
The president joked about the football rivalry between Navy and Army, then proceeded to ask if they were "sick of winning yet." He also informed the cadets that hundreds of new ships are on their way and said the days of depleted military funding are over.
"No money for the military? Those days are over," he said. “We know that the best way to prevent war is to be fully prepared for war.”
Near the end of his remarks, the president said he was told he would stay and shake hands with the top 100 graduates. The number was limited for the sake of time. He turned to the crowd and asked if he should stay to shake hands with all of the cadets, which totaled more than 1000.
"What should I do?!" he asked.
After chants of "Stay! Stay! Stay!" he made the decision to stay and greet every cadet receiving a diploma.
"Together their is nothing America can't do. Absolutely nothing," Trump said. "We are all in for America like never before. We are all in for our great country."
“Strive for excellence, live for adventure, think big, dream bigger, push further, sail faster, fly higher, and never, ever stop reaching for greatness,” he concluded. “As long as we are united with the same mission, the same purpose, the same patriotic heart, we will win because we are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.”
What a Great President !!
Low life, Barack Hussein Obama & his wife, Michelle Obama, hates the USA, the USA Military and most of all the USA People. Worst POTUS in the history of the USA, but, he did lay the groundwork to destroy the Democrat Party politically.
Roger that. I did one enlistment. Dad did 32 retired as an O-6 USN.
“Strive for excellence, live for adventure, think big, dream bigger, push further, sail faster, fly higher, and never, ever stop reaching for greatness,” he concluded. “As long as we are united with the same mission, the same purpose, the same patriotic heart, we will win because we are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.” - President Donald Trump
WOW
LOL!!!!
And that answers the question of why Donald J. Trump is now the President of the United States of America!!!
Liberals must be gnashing their teeth. They must be down to mere stumps by now and will soon need dental implants.
Nice contrast with Hillary’s whine fest at Yale.
Indeed. Heck of a quote.
“Then he stood there for 1-1/2 hours in the sun.....no sun glasses.....and thanked and shook the hands of every single one!”
I wonder who was the last cadet to shake his hand?
Shake his hand????
.....He got the one and only HUG!!!!!lol
What a contrast with Hidebeast’s Russian hat dance at Yale. I love my country and my president! Thank you God for PDJT!
Great speech President Trump.
Obama wasn’t fit to wipe the soles of their shoes. Who ever imagined such a disgusting turd would be a commander, of any sort?
I LOVE my President!
Oh, my! Thanks for the ping. This makes me a little misty, it does. What a fantastic speech, and such a respectful gesture that he stayed to shake hands with all the cadets. Love it!
This wonderful President will be in grave danger in the coming election unless his avid supporters on this forum and all across the country go all out to get to the polls and convince like-minded relatives and friends to do likewise. Okay, I’ve now stepped off of my soapbox!
Jeepers - that vid alone almost wore me out and made me dizzy!
But seriously, awesome indeed, and what a great, inspiring speech. :-)
Maybe I can ask you. Lots of people on Tweet are saying that every president including obozo shook hands with all the graduates. I doubt that. Did oboza stand and shake 1,100 graduate’s hand?
Well, they tried one witch in 2016 and he beat her.
Which witch will they try in 2020? Warren? Harris? Gillibrand? Waters?
I love that guy.
