I’m an active duty naval officer stationed in Pearl Harbor. I was there for the president-elect’s appearance. The crowd was respectful, as you might expect from today’s professional Marines.
The reception was a short photo-op kind of thing. Couple of quick turns around the tables and he was gone.
Bold is mine.
Why not stick around, sounds like the President Elect was uncomfortable with the Marines. I’m sure he’s a busy man, but if I was visiting the defenders of our Country I’d make it a little more than a photo-op. Of course, this is only one Marine’s observation.
Disappointing but not surprising.
