Donald Trump went off on a characteristically bizarre tangent to talk about the dangers of "trophy wives" during a commencement speech at a military academy.
During his address to graduates at West Point, the president delving into a long-winded anecdote about famed real estate developer Bill Levitt, who he said made a "tremendous amount of money but "lost momentum" when he divorced and remarried.
"He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife. Could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife," Trump said.

"It didn't work out too well," he went on. "But that doesn't work out too well, I must tell you, a lot of trophy wives, it doesn't it work. But it made him happy for a little while, at least. But he found a new wife."
Trump need not necessarily have gone off on such a tangent to get his point across to new graduates at the famed New York military academy, arguably having prior form in this area himself.

The president has famously been married three times: first to Ivana Trump in 1977, then to Marla Maples in 1993, and most recently to Melania Trump, now First Lady, in 2005.
All three women were significantly younger than him, and aged between 28 and 34 at the time they were married, having also worked as professional models prior to getting engaged.

Why is he wearing that hat? That hat is a political statement and should not be worn while performing an official duty.
He's got some balls talking about trophy wives
When he was first elected in 2017 Trump made a bizarre speech to a large gathering of Boy Scouts where I think he mentioned the wives of the rich too. Maybe he equates West Point graduates with the Boy Scouts and vice versa.
This is a transcript of Trumps speech to the Boy Scouts years ago.
The part about William Levitt , the post ww2 homebuilder, is almost identical in both speeches.
Strange.

By the way, here is more on Levitt, someone who Trump seems to have some affinity with
sounds like a great guy/s
Trump seems to think he is worth remembering, he has now given two major speeches where he went on about Levitt at length .
dementia is the only progressive thing trumpski has done in this term so far ...
It's his hat.
It's his slogan.
He's a narcissist.
Nothing else matters.
empty hat ...
I saw on the news that a British tabloid nicknamed him "Taco"
I believe yesterday the Trade Courts announced all of the tariffs were illegal and should be vacated,
as in refunded to the American businesses who already paid their tarriffs.
Today he just got blocked from taking more Harvard money
and he announced he's re-thinking the Harvard "problem".
There is no Harvard "problem", just old white men who think they are victims of some conspiracy that only exists in their heads, led by Taco Trump.
TACO stands for Trump Always Chickens Out.
I love it.
maga taco ...
So he is talking about all three of his, correct?
LOL!
typical maga "do as I say, not as I do" bullshit ...
Advice he should've taken himself. He gave almost the exact same speech to the Boy Scouts during his first term.
his mind is gone ...
... what was left of it anyway. he's been morally and mentally bankrupt for decades ...
What an embarrassment.
is it possible to embarrass anyone that stupid?
I'm embarrassed of him.
I don't think he's smart enough to be embarrassed by his own behavior. But I'm sure he's embarrassed by the nickname TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out).
... yeah, pretty much anything leaning latino ...
there's a bunch of stuff recently on the internet about trump's war on harvard being due to his son not being accepted ...
Trump would surely never be that petty /s
it makes the story a lot more credible, considering his reckless trail of stupidity since his inauguration ...
