Donald Trump decided it would be advisable for a group of West Point graduates to make their way back to campus during a pandemic so they could hear him give a “campaign-style” speech.
Many people were sickened with Trump over this stunt and called him out on social media.
Take a look at some responses below:
WH. I feel quite sad for this graduating West Point class of cadets having to endure a forced march to the feet of a long rambling speech by trump https://t.co/jtiPUfXMDy

Trump's West Point PR stunt will give him no bump in the polls. It will only provide more fuel for comedians and pundits to ridicule him and confirms once again how unfit Trump is to lead.

The long and boring West Point speech by @realDonaldTrump could just as easily have been done by video.@POTUS made a reckless decision to force over 1100 cadets to go back for an in-person graduation to a #COVID19 hot spot state in violation of New York’s mass gatherings order. https://t.co/yuW4I4FW5s

Trump's address to the West Point graduates omitted mention of his bone spurs, his cowering in a bunker, and that all the great American heroes he mentioned could not imagine a moronic coward like Trump as Commander in Chief.#BunkerBoy

Was that Donald Trump at a wake at West Point? Such low energy, even with all the cocaine sniffles. Still can't drink a liquid from a glass.

Trump up there saluting the West Point Cadets
He's thinking,
"Look at me, I'm SO important… only 20 more minutes, 20 more minutes…"— Mona (@Monaheart1229) June 13, 2020
If I was a West Point graduate ordered back to campus so Trump could give a droning, uninspiring & pointless speech, I would be pissed. On the other hand, I would also be pissed that such a dishonorable & despicable person as Trump is Commander on Chief in the first place.

After that bonkers gobbly gook by @realDonaldTrump at West Point, the cadets are asking if they can also renegotiate their prenup

President Bone Spurs gave this speech at West Point for one reason & one reason only
Footage for campaign ads
Trump continues to use the military as props
just like he used the bible
It's all fake. Fake president, failed gameshow host
producing fake commercials & campaign ads— Ali Minish (@aliminish) June 13, 2020
Trump has turned his West Point address into a grotesque campaign rally speech, bragging about all his faux accomplishments.

A staggering lack of applause!
These cadets were forced into 2 weeks of quarentine before this?!
In spring. Away from family. After the biggest events of their lives.

Watching that nauseating display of speaking at West Point, remember when Trump criticized Obama’s use of teleprompters? Clearly it was because Obama could use one and it was not the first time he read what was witten for him. trump is the worlds worst teleprompter speaker.

Trump’s right arm just appeared to malfunction during his speech at West Point. If this were my mom, we’d be rushing to the hospital to see if she had a stroke. https://t.co/U1lPat1aHg
