Trump at West Point graduation lauds "Golden Age" as anti-DEI and pro-defense
On a crisp spring morning at the United States Military Academy at West Point, former President Donald Trump delivered a charged commencement address that blended traditional patriotism with sharp political undertones. Speaking before more than 1,000 graduating cadets and thousands of families on May 24, 2025, Trump declared the beginning of what he called the “Golden Age of American Strength,” marked by military dominance, renewed nationalism, and the rejection of what he called “woke ideology.”
