At Army-Navy game, Trump touts new pro sports option for service academy players

With impeachment looming in Washington, Trump made the day trip to Philadelphia for the second year in a row for the storied game. Trump, who also went in 2016 as president-elect, is the 10th commander in chief to attend the contest.

The crowd cheered as Trump walked off the field after the national anthem. He put on a red Keep America Great hat. The game comes amid a renewed push by the White House to deliver moments that depict Trump governing — such as his visit to NATO in London last week and his successful lobbying for a new U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade deal — that it believes stands in stark contrast to the Democrats’ impeachment effort.

Isn't this lovely? We taxpayers invest in training these kids, and now we'll wait to send them into active duty until they're 10 years older with battered bodies and concussions. They're toasting this decision in the Kremlin. Once again, AllRoadsLeadToPutin

the military thinks Trump is a joke. they are correct

Awesome move Obama!!!

During the Obama admin, the (Ash) Carter letter allowed service academy athletes to go into professional sports after graduating if they were granted reserve status. But in 2017, Trump's Defense Department revoked that. Kept a_young_raisin from the AF_Falcons from the NFL.

Trump touts a policy change that clears the way for athletes. He changes a policy that was made more restrictive by Mattis in Apr. 2017 Mattis signed a memo requiring a min of two yrs active duty upon grad. Obama changes it➡️changed by Mattis April 2017➡️trump changes it back

I wonder how many of these players know thst he was too much of a pussy to serve either in the army OR the navy?!

If you don’t want to fulfill your obligations then don’t join a Military academy.

He just makes up shit on the go?

Obama did it first realDonaldTrump

Best President ever

Merry Christmas Mr. President , thanks for taking food out of our mouths,. things been tough since pa got sick at work and doesn't get health insurance

Merry Christmas and a GUARANTEED Trump2020LandslideVictory

Hmmmm...wonder what's in it for him.

This is great news for service academy athletes! 🇺🇸

If anybody can find a way to avoid active-duty military service, it's Trump.

Forward thinking POTUS. 👏 👏 👏 👏

Why would they have enlisted in the Military if they were able 'to make a fortune in Pro Sports'? Trumps spewing a situation where he has SCOUTS go to Military bases AFTER the newbies ENLISTED & are in military training in case they are needed to Protect though?! This is BS?!🤨

Incomplete. Left out the part about his taking it away after Obama made it possible.

He cannot help himself - this is how trump thinks about any kind of service....Getting out of it is foremost on his mind. He is the antithesis of dear President Obama

Ok, but is this what the taxpayer (who pays for the academies) want

The Obama administration put a policy in place allowing some athletes to go to the pros and defer their military service.

How about they just don't join up until they're ready? It's not like there is a draft to duck with some phony claim of heel spurs or somthing.

Hey everyone, look over here.....

Who is taking military advice from CadetBoneSpurs who has repeatedly said awful things about career military personnel while pardoning a war criminal (gallagher)?

The Academies will be able to recruit top athletes. Offer them a guaranteed job after pro sports. AWESOME!

Seriously? So they go to school on the tax payers dime and then get to delay their service? That’s ridiculous. Let alone the rest of the graduates who aren’t athletes don’t have that option. Patently absurd.

Bone Spurs athletic policy

Got_It 🤙🏻 CIC

“Touts an administration policy,” its a policy that affects everyone in that locker room. 🙄 FakeNews get a F’ing life already.

America First or something.

And he will tout this...

Of course media will spin this negative
