Trump announces he's speaking at West Point Commencement

[GMDino]

And West Point didn't know about it.  

President Trump's commencement address at West Point in June will bring back 1,000 cadets who are scattered across the country to help counter the coronavirus.

It was news to many when he announced it — including those at the academy. https://t.co/2SSTVFRMnc

West Point Honor Code: A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do.

The irony of a draft dodger with fake bone spurs giving the commencement address at West Point is palpable.

LOL at least he never let himself be captured in combat and sit out the war in a Hilton Hotel; can't say that of every one-time presidential candidate.

I’m sure not living with the shame of volunteering to serve his country in combat is a real comfort for Cadet Bonespurs.

And I’m pretty sure Trump wouldn’t be caught dead slummin’ at a Hilton. They don’t have any fake Civil War battlefields like Trump resorts. Or framed fake magazine covers featuring the man with the greatest fake tan in the history of fake tans.

LOL certainly not the "Hanoi Hilton."  Room service came with pliers and rope.  Plus no toilet paper.

Anyway, cadets need this important civic lesson about who gets to lie, cheat, and steal in the U.S. Gov., who doesn't, and why.
It's actually a lesson about how democracy works now.
