The appointments came after Trump last month purged the boards of visitors at the Naval, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard academies as part of his wider push to radically overhaul the military, which he has previously decried as too “woke.”In a post on his social media platform Truth Social Monday, Trump said he had appointed former national security adviser Michael Flynn to the United States Military Academy’s board of visitors, along with Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas); Maureen Bannon, a West Point alum and daughter of MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon; Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia; and retired major general Dan Walrath.
Flynn, a retired lieutenant general, served briefly as Trump’s national security adviser during the president’s first term before he resigned in 2017 after reports surfaced that he obfuscated his discussions with Russian officials to then-Vice President Mike Pence. He pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI regarding his contacts with Russia’s ambassador, though Trump later pardoned him.
“They will make our Country proud,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations to all!”
The president also named Alabama GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville, founder of conservative network Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk and former deputy national security adviser Dina Powell, among others, to the Air Force’s board of visitors.

I wasn’t sure what a Board of Visitors’ does, so I googled.
This is from the west point site:
The Board, under the provisions of 10 US Code 7455 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, shall inquire into the morale and discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the academy that the board decides to consider.
Good news. That is who they should be staffed with.
Why would he not do that? All presidents seek out like minded individuals to carry out their vision of how America should be operated.
Super!!
MAGA loyalists = patriots
Did the DC federal court approve this?
Should havebeen shipped to the Cuba or China that he loves so much in a cage.
Wesley Hunt is the real deal. He is the model of who we need to be electing to represent us.
The way President Trump is acting you would think that he won an election.
Good for Trump... nice choices.
THAT piece of SHIT should be curb stomped, stripped of US Citizenship and dumped in CUBA.
I’ll be here all night folks!
Agreed.
The days of weakness and cowardice are OVER!!
FIGHT TO WIN OR DO NOT FIGHT AT ALL!!
Thanks for looking up what the Board of Visitors does. I was wondering myself.
Without Charlie Kirk then Trump would probably not have won. The difference he made in getting young people to vote for Trump was epic.
Why he wasn’t immediately discharged was a disgrace!
