‘For the first time ever, the West Point football program became back to back winners of the Commander-in-Chief’s trophy, first time ever’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "It's a beautiful day, what a great group of people. Star athletes and stars in every way, it's an honor to have you at the White House. Congratulations to all of you in a phenomenal victory. For the first time ever, the West Point football program became back-to-back winners of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, first time ever. It's a long history. With eleven victories last season, you won more games than any other army team in history. Pretty good. (Applause) Over the last two seasons, you've won 21 of your last 26 games, and you now hold the second longest active winning streak in college football, trailing only a team called Clemson, the Clemson Tigers. Did you ever hear of that team? They're a good team, they were here. Every time you entered the field, you proved that you are army strong. And you know, I was so impressed when I was at the game.”
