" I suppose he ca n’t relate to working hard to fine-tune college … so he speaks about what he does know . Trophy wives and expensive boats . "

President Donald Trump recently gave the commencement speech at West Point Military Academy, and it was bizarre to say the least.

Since Saturday, the 78-year-old has received widespread criticism forsporting a MAGA hatat the graduation and for rambling incoherently about"inappropriate"topics. In fact, Trump’s speech was so strange that the White Housereportedlyerased the transcript from its website.

“He ended up getting a divorce. Found a new wife. Can you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife,” Trump said.

“It didn’t work out too well. That doesn’t work out too well, I must tell you. A lot of trophy wives. It doesn’t work out. It made him happy for a little while, at least. He found a new wife.”

Since its posting onX, the speech clip has since ramped up over 6.5 million views, and commenters have expressed anger and disappointment about Trump being seemingly unprepared for the moment. “Imagine spending four grueling, incredible years at one of the best universities in the entire world with the goal of serving your country for five more, and this is the commencement address you get,” one person wrote.

“It’s remarkable how many people just accept this as the new normal in a commander-in-chief,” another person wrote.

This person called Trump’s remarks “disrespectful, lazy, and inappropriate.”

“I guess he can’t relate to working hard to graduate college…so he speaks about what he does know. Trophy wives and expensive boats,” another person joked.
