President Donald Trump hailed the foundations of the United States, including God and justice, in an address on June 13 to graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Trump said that carrying on civilization depends on people “who love their country with all their heart and energy and soul” and remarked that U.S. soldiers from the academy helped win “a bloody war to extinguish the evil of slavery within one lifetime of our founding.”
