President Trump Left Red-Faced as Expected Cheers Never Come During Entrance

In a bewildering and awkward speech delivered to the nation’s military elite in Virginia, President Donald Trump oscillated between topics, at times appearing nearly incoherent. He repeatedly expressed his grievances, including an unusual mention of deploying a nuclear submarine near Russia.One particularly shocking moment arose when Trump entered a silent room filled with admirals and generals, demanding applause. “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before,” he asserted, adding, “Just have a good time. If you want to applaud, do it.” His tone shifted as he passive-aggressively warned, “You can leave the room, but there goes your rank.”The discourse elicited immediate reactions online, with a user noting, “Imagine needing to order applause from generals. That’s not leadership—that's desperation.” Trump’s lengthy remarks also included musings about military actions and his perceived Nobel Peace Prize aspirations. Additionally, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth laid out a controversial 10-point plan for military reform preceding Trump’s address.
