Trump made light of the incident in a tweet late yesterday after the ceremony earlier in the day at the US Military Academy, the US Army’s premier officer training school. “The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” Trump said.
Trump spoke from a reviewing stand before the more than one thousand freshly minted second lieutenants of the academy’s class of 2020, who sat evenly spaced out on the field below.
