Donald Trump ranted to a captive audience of graduating West Point cadets about military drag shows, urging the students to focus on killing America’s enemies.

“The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun,” the president said. “The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America anywhere, anytime, and anyplace.”

While college commencement addresses are usually a chance to celebrate the graduates’ achievements, the more than a thousand West Point cadets and their families were treated to a recounting of Trump’s war on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the military.

    If you want him to double down on if he wants them to be spreading democracy by pointing a gun, just ask him. He’ll happily oblige. You know it.

    The man’s demented. He’s seriously ill. Look at his clown makeup for the love of fuck! What halfway-well person does that and can’t finish a thought?
