Donald J. Trump

I stood out there and mingled with them for a bit.

What do you think about the United States right now?

How's morale?

Better than it has been, they said.

And I think that's a big takeaway here because this is a big pep rally for the United States Navy, as we've talked about, 250 years.

And so it's encouraging because, you know, Steve, if you listen to the left-wing media, you think that, you know,

The media or the military is not with Donald Trump.

That's absolutely false.

When I sit here and talk to these young men and women, some of them have been in a couple of years, some of them have been in 15 or 20 years.

They say morale is better today than it has been for a number of years.

And you can figure out why.

They have a commander in chief they believe in, a commander in chief who sits out there and watches all of their equipment get used.

It's impressive.

There's no question about it.

And the applause that ripped through here.

Every time, they really like the submarines, by the way.

That's a big favorite for the crowd here.

But all of the equipment they're showing off, it is, it's electric.

The weather is, it's hot.

I'm not going to kid you.
