Trump not to deliver commencement address at West Point Saturday

Last edited Fri May 22, 2026, 11:50 AM - Edit history (2)

Maybe not. Apparently, all that is certain is that he'll be there. It would be odd if he were there but did not speak. Perhaps he's parachuting in and then leaving.

Whoops. Change of plans.

I won't be watching.

One reason for all the multiple area TFR's up NY way besides Bedminster keeping TFR guys busy.
POTUS will be in Rockland County Friday at Rockland County Community College for a speaking event with Mike Lawler and on Saturday will be in Orange County for West Point Graduation.

Or, maybe, he'll produce the photo from his high school military school days where he's standing with mom and dad looking like a character from "The Nutcracker."
