– President Donald Trump paid homage to the military Friday in a speech to the graduating class at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, declaring to more than 1,000 incoming officers, “You are winners, you are warriors,” and invoking Navy legends to urge them on in their careers. Trump, relishing the traditions of Annapolis, cited Adm. David Farragut’s famous cry and added his own punctuating twist for emphasis. Friday’s ceremony marked the first presidential appearance at a Naval Academy graduation since President Barack Obama addressed the Class of 2013. The first president to address a graduating class at Annapolis was James Garfield in 1881, with many others following.
