WTF? Trump: "...so many military people are with us here today."





“Our military is at a level where it has never been before….The funding of our military was so important and so many military people are with us here today. Just think of $700 billion because that is all going into our military this year,” @POTUS tells crowd at White House

I'm not sure the kids wanted to hear about how wonderful Trump is and how big the military is. But Trump never misses a chance to brag; who cares if the kids are bored?

I also want to thank the White House Historical Association, […] and everybody who works to keep this incredible house, or building, or whatever you want to call it — because there really is no name for it. It’s special. And we keep it in tip-top shape. We call it sometimes “tippy-top shape,” and it’s a great, great place.

The one where he told them about a cocktail party in NYC that had all the hottest people and went on to brag about the audience size. "Appropriate" is not in his vocabulary.
