President Trump gave a speech at the FBI National Academy Graduation Ceremony, where he praised the institution and its operatives just after dragging them through the mud in front of the media.

Trump commended the graduates today for the tough training they endured and their future roles in maintaining national security. As he praised the audience’s heroism, the president eventually started waxing on about how much respect he has for law enforcement and how they deserve that same level of admiration across the country.

“With me as your president, America’s police will have a true friend and loyal champion in the White House…more loyal than anyone else can be,” said Trump. “I want you to deliver a message to your fellow officers: the President of the United States has your back 100%.”

While Trump was obviously playing to the crowd, his remarks are interesting since they came approximately an hour after he trashed the intelligence service while taking questions on the White House lawn. Trump invoked Robert Mueller‘s special investigation on Russia, which he ripped into along with the bureau as a whole.

“It’s a shame what’s happened with the FBI,” Trump said. “It’s very sad, when you look at those documents, and how they’ve done that is really, really disgraceful. And you have a lot of very angry people that are seeing it. It’s a very sad thing to watch.”
