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.

          Well there’s multiple people saying he says “or” and about an equal number thinking he said “but” so I’d say it’s open to interpretation. With anyone else I’d give them the benefit of the doubt, but with Rump, the worst way he could have meant it is probably the most accurate

          Edit: Welp, I just listened to it and he clearly said “or”, so you’re full of shit or need your hearing checked

            There’s only one dude, and you, saying “or”. I haven’t listened to it because I can’t stand his stupid voice or the way he speaks, so I’m not working in on that, just the discussion.
