President Donald Trump spoke to a crowd of thousands of American troops aboard aircraft carrier USS George Washington at the Yokosuka naval base in Japan on Oct. 28.
Service members chanted “Trump” and “U.S.A.” as the president took the stage wearing a white baseball cap with red U.S.A. lettering while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blared over the loudspeakers.
