President Trump said Friday he would stay for “hours” to shake hands with all graduating seniors at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
Trump closed his address to graduates by asking them to weigh in on whether or not he should stay.
“I was given an option. I could make this commencement address, which is a great honor for me, and immediately leave and wave goodbye. Or I could stay and shake hands with just the top 100. Or I could stay for hours and shake hands with 1,100 and something. What should I do? What should I do?” he jokingly posed to the crowd that chanted, “Stay.”
“Ok, I’ll stay,” he declared.
Trump delivered a triumphant speech during the ceremony, saying, “We are not going to apologize for America. We are going to stand up for America. No more apologies. We are going to stand up for our citizens. We are going to stand up for our values. And we are going to stand up for our men and women in uniform.”

27 Comments5 years agoAgain, we have a President who recognizes what needs to be done to make this country GREAT again, is pragmatic, is willing to make the hard decisions, and is not tied down by the other elected officials who care only about keeping their jobs, caring little about what is actually best for our country. I thank our “lucky star” that Hillary and the Democrats lost out, as her election would have continued our countries spiral into the abyss. To me, POTUS is a refreshing change to the career politicians who have previously held the same position, and his business like approach has not only been meritorious, they have actually moved this country to a level of prosperity and confidence that has been earth shaking. Even his gesture to those youngsters to shake their hands is evidence of a charisma that is very positive for this country. Though I know that he is a New York “street fighter,” something I am personally familiar with, and that his tendency as a result is to never allow anyone to “kick him in the arse.” a characteristic that I believe is very beneficial, and though I know that because of that tendency he sometimes puts his foot in his mouth; nevertheless, I believe he is what this country has long needed as our leader, and I find it horrible that the media, which is controlled by the liberals, are foolishly opposed to this man, and continue to find only negatives, without overtly reporting the positives, causing me to lose confidence in our fourth estate, as their bias has become unreasonable to a fault. Now if we can only get term limits for all elected politicians, a balanced budget, laws that preclude those who leave office from lobbying for a number of years, and continue to elect leaders, especially this November, like Mr. Trump, this country will continue to be wonderful and a world leader for our youngsters and future generations.
5 years agoReply to DennisDennis, the so-called “Fourth Estate” has long ago become the “Fifth Column!” If the lamestream media – the whole lot of ’em! – disappeared overnight, I wouldn’t shed a tear or miss a moment’s sleep. Conservatives, who have grabbed the reins of power via social media and the Internet, are actually filling that void now for a LOT of us!
5 years agoReply to GabeNeoTo quote our Fearless Leader, Pres. Trump, “We’ll have to see how that turns out!” Anyway, Conservative media are definitely stepping up to the plate, but whether that means the end of the MSM/LSM, only time will tell!
5 years agoReply to DennisNice to see guys like you Dennis that share the care and the true sentiments of what it will take to make the USA great again… term limits are so heavily important that I cannot stress it more… for example, we cannot get our ambassadorship taken care of because of a shitload of winy ass dickweed politicians in the senate and house that cannot stop bickering over the mere food in their commissary… dead weight that needs to be drained ASAHP (as soon as humanly possible)

5 years agoNotice the welcome elements of corporate structure he has brought to his function as Commander-in-Chief. He makes each graduating cadet, his employees, feel as though they have a direct link to his efforts. Or in military parlance, sh*t runs downhill.
To better understand his approach, try “The Art of the Deal”. I did, making it easier to sort out who of the prejudiced and ignorant media did not.

Anyway, I’ve been archiving everything about Islam/muslims, since 9/11, and I say what Trump did there, as just lip service. Isn’t that nice of him? While in the background, what everyone doesn’t see, is him still letting muslims in this country, albeit..very slowly now, so Americans won’t notice, and keep them from screaming.. I been collecting articles, and it’s too much to show here….you’ll might see one or two articles, here and there…but if you had kept ALL of them, and put them all together, it would be shocking! All I do, is something not everyone does…I sit here, and read, and collect, all day long….you don’t want to know, what’s happening, behind the “lip service”…I pray and hope, that one day, it’ll all come to light…for everyone.

Donald Trump Sends ‘Best Wishes’ to Muslims on Ramadan
5 years agoI see a lot of conservative or Illuminate expose sites declaring that Donald Trump is part of the deeper state going deep in the heavy world banker Zionist cartel… I myself want to believe and hope that is not true. While he may go a bit heavy into the supporting of Israel, which sometimes I am not sure of their true agenda, no Illuminate, deep state puppet would ever shake the hands of 2000 plus graduates of the Naval Academy. Therefore this to me is highly encouraging to no end. That Trump is as real as he claims and acts to be… God bless this crazy patriotic billionaire and his love for our way of life and our country… I am back to being a patriot again just like our leader is…. yeayeee!!!!!
