What's my point? Teenage Donald Trump was sent to a military academy for high school. There, he studied military history and strategy. He shared dorm space with those who served in Viet Nam. He respects and understands the military. One has to assume this was a sincere and spontaneous desire on President Trump's part to bond with these future Green Berets.
Just a guess....one can't help but suspect that West Point is very happy with its future with President Trump as CIC.
Now, if they could only get back to the Honor Code.
