President Donald Trump recently gave the Commencement speech at West Point Military Academy, and it was bizarre to say the least.
Since Saturday, the 78-year-old has received widespread criticism for sporting a MAGA hat at the graduation and for rambling incoherently about "inappropriate" topics. In fact, Trump's speech was so strange that the White House reportedly erased the transcript from its website.

Since its posting on X, the speech clip has since ramped up over 6.5 million views, and commenters have expressed anger and disappointment about Trump being seemingly unprepared for the moment.
