Trump gives rambling speech about trophy wives, golf and the 'great late' Al Capone in West Point address [View all]

President Donald Trump gave a politically-charged, rambling speech about DEI programs, golf and Al Capone while addressing the 2025 graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Trump’s Saturday morning address in West Point, New York, stretched on for over an hour. The speech was originally focused on West Point graduates and their accomplishments, but Trump soon turned toward other topics.

The commander in chief of the U.S. military used his keynote address to highlight his efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the country. He claimed to have “liberated our troops from divisive and demeaning political trainings,” and said there will be “no more critical race theory or transgender for everybody.”

This follows his January executive order that sought to deny the existence of transgender, intersex and nonbinary people throughout government.
