President Trump uses speech to Air Force Academy football team to ask, “how’s health care coming, folks?”
President Trump couldn't hold back from bashing the Democrats and bragging about his accomplishments



On Tuesday President Trump welcomed the Air Force Academy football team to the White House and presented them with the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, but not before he used the occasion to take shots at the Democrats.

At the ceremony to award the team that is victorious in the triangular rivalry between the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy, Trump quickly pivoted to his political talking points. In front of the members of the Air Force Falcons football team, Trump bashed Democratic members of Congress, some of whom were also in attendance.

“How’s health care coming, folks?” Trump asked, looking at the members of Congress.

“How’s it going? All right, we’re moving along? All right, I think it’s time now, right?” Trump continued.

That seems to be his big "go to" for visitors these days.

The worst thing for the players is that as military officer candidates they can't turn down a command from their commander-in-chief like civilian teams or team members can. They're stuck playing backdrop as he babbles on incoherently.
