In a country grappling with governmental paralysis, an economy teetering on instability, and a populace largely disillusioned with current presidential policies—what could possibly capture Donald Trump’s attention at the naval station in Virginia?
Evidently, it was anything but the pressing matters at hand, revealing a curious disconnect from reality.
Instead, Trump opted to display a rather alarming level of ignorance.

In his speech, Trump argued that the U.S. military had a winning streak until it fell prey to “wokeness”:
“The Department of War—now it’s called Defense. We’ve had victories all the way from World War I to World War II, and beyond. Everything was won until they decided to rebrand; that’s when they went woke, which is an age-old problem.”
But he didn’t stop there; he launched into a tirade regarding the controversial 2020 election:
“From the American Revolution to today, the narrative of the U.S. Navy is woven with loyalty and sacrifice over 250 years. We’re celebrating that two-hundred-fifty-year milestone, though I nearly thought I wouldn’t be here because they rigged the election against me in 2016! I caught them in the act. After that, I had to run the election again, and what did I get? Two hundred-fifty! Along with the World Cup and the Olympics!”

evidently, Trump had more to share, as will be unveiled momentarily.
