President Donald Trump on Friday told the graduating class of Naval Academy students that the U.S. military is “respected again” under his leadership.

“You are now leaders of the most power and righteous forces on the face of the planet, the United States Military,” he said. “We are respected again, I can tell you that. We are respected again. A lot of things have happened, we’re respected again.”

    Is there any look that would work for him?

  3. “We’re Respected Again”

    sez who ? sez who ?

  4. If by “respected” he means “universally laughed at, mocked, derided and distrusted”, then yes.

  5. Translation: “We’ve been feeling very disrespected recently, by which we mean the royal we Trump, and so we will declare the contrary, so as to make it true”

    You can read him like a book, which is ironic because I have no idea the last time he read a book.
