Trump @ West Point: “the days of “absurd ideological experiments” & military drag shows are over”

WATCH: Trump Says the Days of Military Drag Shows and Other ‘Absurd Ideological Experiments’ are OVER

President Donald Trump declared that the days of “absurd ideological experiments” and military drag shows are over during his West Point commencement speech on Saturday.

Trump also blasted former administrations for “abusing soldiers with absurd ideological experiments” and “nation-building crusades.”

“For at least two decades, political leaders from both parties have dragged our military into missions it was never — meant to be,” Trump said. “People would say, why are we doing this? Why are we wasting our time, money, and souls in some case?”

Trump lamented that previous presidents had subjected the Armed Forces to “social projects and political causes.”

“They subjected the Armed Forces to all manner of social projects and political causes while leaving our borders undefended and depleting our arsenals to fight other countries’ wars,” Trump said. “But under the Trump administration, those days are over.”
