REMARKS

Remarks by President Trump During a Meeting with Senior Military Leadership and National Security Team

NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE

Issued on: May 9, 2020

Cabinet Room

6:27 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. This is the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and we’ve had a very productive meeting. It’s going to continue after you leave. But we’ve had a very, very productive meeting.

Our military is very strong, more — more so than it’s been in many, many years. I think I can say “in many, many decades.” We’ve spent one and half trillion dollars rebuilding our military, and it shows it. And we are discussing various things.

And, with that, thank you very much. Thank you.

END

What a motivational speech from the bestest inspirational leader! I wonder if all those in attendance get a special "W-T-F?" medal to add to their uniform?

“We’re very good friends”. He is cognitively impaired and it’s getting worse.

(and quite the challenge to actually read!) is any printed transcript of any speech he has ever made - at least one without the aid of a teleprompter. The largest challenge is to TRY to read (forget about "comprehension!" ) any "speech" he makes at one of his "rallies" - OMG!!!!!!


UPDATE!!

Realize they are packed in close to someone who has been exposed to Covid-19? Was this meeting necessary? Hope the people serving them were not positive either.
