New remarkable statements by Trump

During his speech to the military, Trump stated that America could have easily won in Vietnam and Afghanistan if it had truly fought for victory. This did not happen, and afterward, "we got politically correct."

"We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand. We are winning," said the U.S. president.

However, he did not specify exactly where the United States is winning militarily, if one does not take into account the so-called diplomatic victories in terms of "ending eight wars."

 

The U.S. president also told the sailors that, at the moment, the United States is ahead of other countries by a quarter of a century in the field of submarines. He promised the Navy more ships.

Finally, the American president announced a huge and spectacular fight in the UFC format.
