Donald Trump’s first military commencement address of his second term involves delivering a warning to West Point cadets about “trophy wives” ruining their “momentum.”
During his commencement speech Trump told the graduates about William Levitt, a real estate developer he met in New York, and someone who Trump believes “lost his momentum” by selling his company and marrying a “trophy wife.”
“He became very rich, became a very rich man. And then he decided to sell. He was offered a lot of money by a big conglomerate, Gulf and Western, big conglomerate. They didn’t do real estate. They didn’t know anything about it, but they saw the money he was making,” Trump said about Levitt.
“He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife — could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife — it didn’t work out too well. But that doesn’t work out too well. A lot of trophy wives doesn’t work out. But it made them happy for a little while at least. But he found a new wife, he sold his little boat and he got a big yacht; he had one of the biggest yachts anywhere in the world. He moved for a time to Monte Carlo, and he led the good life. and time went by and he got bored and 15 years later, the company that he sold to called him and they said, ‘The housing business is not for us.'”
According to Trump, Levitt ended up bankrupt after buying his company back 15 years later because by that time he’d lost his momentum.
“He said, I’ll never forget, he said, ‘I’ve lost my momentum, I just didn’t have it. I used to have it, but I lost my moment,’” Trump said.
What on God’s green earth did this guy and trophy wives have anything to do with graduation at West point? He is so off his rocker.
Nothing Trump does makes sense.
