“The president made deceptive claims about his army budgets, the combat in opposition to the Islamic State and wars within the Center East.” ( New York Occasions, Could 23, 2025).
The highlights of Trump’s failed West Level tackle are:
● Insinuated that the army is not revered by saying that “the army can be revered once more” due to him.
● Embarrassingly revealed his weak ego by disaparaging former presidents of the USA.
● Wore his costumed crimson hat ” Make America Nice Once more” making the occasion extra about himself than the graduates
● Vowed to make use of the army to guard our borders as a method to unfold the false narrative that we’re beneath assault by large numbers of harmful immigrants
● Babbled a few random story about males and trophy wives
Trump’s historical past of calling useless troopers “losers and suckers”, dodging the draft 5 instances, disparaging the heroic army service of Senator John McCain, and utilizing the army as a prop throughout his assault on the Black Lives Matter response to the homicide of George Floyd made Trump an ungainly selection for being the graduation speaker at West Level.
Including to the irony of honoring him with talking on the commencement is his alignment with Elon Musk and DOGE’s reducing of veteran advantages, eliminating VA jobs, and implementing large reductions within the measurement of companies that present important companies for veterans.
Members of the army KNOW Trump doesn’t know greater than the generals, which is why they should be terrified by his poor army data and delusional perception that he does know greater than profession army professionals.
IT’S BAFFLING WHY YOUNG MEN, MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOK AT TRUMP AND SEE A SPECIMEN OF MASCULINITY? MASCULINE MEN DON’T WHINE, THEY CAN LOSE WITHOUT FEELING SHAME, THEY DON’T BULLY, AND THEY RESPECT, NOT DOMINATE WOMEN. HEALTHY MASCULINITY INCLUDES BRAVERY, A STRONG SELF-ESTEEM, COMPASSION, AND DECENCY. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR MILITARY ARE LEFT WITH FAKING RESPECT FOR A MAN THAT SHOWS NO RESPECT FOR THE LAWS AND VALUES OF AMERICA. TRUMP FAILED TO GIVE WEST POINT GRADUATES A ROLE MODEL TO BE PROUD OF, TO TRUST, AND TO FEEL PROTECTED BY.
Throughout his 2024 marketing campaign, Trump promised to finish the Russia/ Ukraine Battle and Israel/ Gaza Battle in 24 hours. He bossted that his negotiating abilities might resolve essentially the most complicated army conflicts that no one else might resolve. HOWEVER, IT’S NOT SURPRISING THAT AFTER 4 1/2 MONTHS, THE WARS CONTINUE. IN PARTICULAR, PUTIN IS NOT DETERRED BY TRUMP’S NEGOTIATING STYLE OR HIS OBSESSION WITH WINNING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO END THE MILITARY OPERATIONS AGAINST UKRAINE.
The West Level cadets had been undoubtedly uninspired by Trump’s speech, which was crammed with bluster by a person who intends to make use of their identify and assets for a birthday parade to honor himself as the good Commander-in-Chief. LET’S HOPE THAT FAILS TO HAPPEN.
