Trump entered the stage for a loud choir from “USA, USA” sting.

He told the 1,002 cadets that the academy was the “most of the military academy of the elite and famous military academy in human history”.

Trump scolded former foreign policy initiatives. He explained to end critical racial theory, DEI initiatives and men in women's sports as he swore to promote a return to deserving systems and traditional military values.

“The task of the United States is not to organize a drag shows or to transform abroad, to spread democracy to everyone around the world at the time of a weapon. The task of the military is to dominate and destroy every threat to America, everywhere, everywhere and anywhere.”

He emphasized “peace through strength”, a mantra together that he often used and undertook to build the military.

“When the United States are attacked, the army will wipe out our opponents with overwhelming strength and devastating strength,” said Trump. “That is why this nation has started a colossal structure of the United States armed forces, an structure that you have never done before.”

“Because as much as you want to fight, I would rather do it without having to fight. I just want to look at them and let them fold – and that happens.”

Trump called a cadet on stage after announcing that he had “smashed” an international record for an 18 and a half mileage march. He also celebrated the victories of the Army football and noticed victories against the ranking of the Marine and the Air Force and the national team.
