Remember when the Nation’s leaders gave commencement addresses at the counties leading military academies like West Point and Annapolis and did not embarrass themselves while congratulating the graduates for committing to serve their country.
Or even sticking around to shake the graduates hands.
Oh yeah, it was just last year with President Joe Biden, the one people like Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson said committed the original sin of deciding to run for election again based on anonymous source material questioning his fitness that has been going through the last news cycle getting refuted again and again.
Actually, the original sin of the 2024 Campaign was ably cited by David Frum below:
Back to this Memorial Day Weekend and you have the Felon in Chief and American Duce Wannabe who called the brave and fallen who gave their lives for this country “suckers and losers” donning a MAGA hat and giving a speech to the 2025 graduates at Westpoint Academy that digressed into ramblings about trophy wives, men playing women sports, defaming and lying about Barack Obama, citing the oligarch leader’s of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates for praising the United States under his leadership, saying he was investigated more than Al Capone, and repeated falsehoods about border crossings over the last four years and in the first days of his return.
He also said that people stopped joining the military when Joe Biden was President.
Newsflash: The 2025 graduates at Westpoint joined the military when Joe Biden was President.
Unlike Biden and past Chief Executives, he was too much in a hurry to get back to his golf course in New Jersey to stay and shake hands with the graduates.
He also had to be escorted around the stage at times like a confused child.
Fast forward to today (Memorial Day) and Mr. Trump publishes the below unstable, lying rant on social media:
This is not the writings of a sane and rational human being who should be entrusted with the nation’s nuclear codes.
Texas Representative Jasmin Crockett nailed it with her assessment of Trump’s “address” at Westpoint, stating on MSNBC:
“He literally sounds like someone who was broken out of the insane asylum. Like, he just be all over the place, like, give him some ADHD medicine, if nothing else, because I don’t know where he’s ever gonna go. And I don’t think that those that have gone through West Point expected to have their Commander-in-Chief address them and start talking about trophy wives or start talking about how he had so many investigations. What a great reminder that you are not qualified to be the person that potentially will command us as troops to go into war. Like that is not instilling confidence whatsoever. And honestly, our troops deserve better. Our graduates deserve better! We as a country deserve better, and frankly, if we are going to ever be seen as the world leaders that we historically have been, the world deserves better. It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve. But this is just absolutely deplorable.”
Tapper and Thompson should have written a book about Trump’s mental acuity and the people who thought voting for him was a great idea.
There is no shortage of non anonymous source material for that.
The nation’s military deserves a Commander in Chief they could respect and look up to and who respects them and their service and sacrifice.
Donald Trump is not that person.
