   Trump wasn’t just disrespectful, he left early, after his indecorous speech.

   “Trump is giving the commencement address at the US MIL Academy wearing his campaign hat. It’s traditional for the president at academy commencements to congratulate each cadet.

   That part of the ceremony is now happening w/o him.

   Perhaps he was just too tired to shake hands with and salute each cadet.

   A year ago, President Biden did exactly that.

   My pool report from that day:”

     In a grossly inappropriate red MAGA hat & pink tie, Trump shamed America, the cadets, military, & fed govt, with his speech:

     “We’re focusing on “KILLING…,” not host drag shows. He said he was clearing the military of transgender ideas, & “critical race theory’ & trainings he called divisive & political. Trump said the election results gave him a “great mandate” & IT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
