They were present at what is probably the only instance in history where a president took the opportunity, instead of focusing on an inspirational speech for the graduates, to vent about his own personal annoyances, and then brag about his own supposed accomplishments.

Astonishingly, this was apparently a scripted speech - as if no one told him how inappropriate this was.

That was toe-cringing. The man has no capacity for shame.

I was at a car dealership early in the morning for an 8:40 appointment to get my computer reprogrammed under recall...hadn't had my coffee yet, i had a mild headache, felt irritable (because my loaner car wouldn't be ready for another hour), and the dealership has the TV firmly planted on Fox News....and there is Trump yammering on in that speech. Ugggghhhhhhh

There were 5 of us sitting in the waiting area, and looking at each other in amazement every time he completed a sentence. I swear, i've never heard a commencement speech like it. I'm like, "WTF are you talking about?" It was so ridiculous that no one even said anything. We just gave each other that look that said "can you believe this crap?"

Straight from bizarroworld.

In Trump's world he is the only thing that matters. Poor baby.

He should be ashamed. They all worked hard to graduate from the academy and he stood around and whined and talked about his problems. They have therapists for that, Twitler!

In the infamous words of George W. Bush after Trump's Inauguration Speech, "that was some weird sh*t."
