Really? Trophy wives? What?
Was he talking about Ivana, Marla, and Melania? Tuning in the middle of Donald Trump's West Point commencement address, it was hard to tell. Trump was talking about someone who retired, bought a big boat, and had a trophy wife. Huh?
Maybe he was referring to Jeff Bezos, who bought a boat the size of Manhattan and seemed to discover that the double D—40 wasn't exactly Amazon-appropriate?

Why a convicted felon was asked to give the commencement address at the West Point Military Academy is a question, particularly when he referred to deceased soldiers as suckers and losers, and deferring the draft by using a bone spur excuse.

The U.S. still has the right stuff.
