West Point graduate and 4th generation Army veteran Alisha Houston asked President Trump a question during a recent town hall in Georgia, including asking him,

“As you work to de-woke our military, that you pay careful attention to the generals that you put in charge at our academies and ROTC program and the curriculum there.”

Trump responded that she’s right about the academies and that it’s all going to be changed.

Alisha Houston
Mr. President, thank you for being here today. I want to thank you for coming into a room full of women that, the current administration would consider domestic terrorists.

Audience erupts in applause

But you’re here with us.

President Trump
That is true, by the way.

Alisha Houston
My name is Alisha, and I live in the infamous Fulton County. I’m a wife and a mom, but I’m also a fourth generation Army veteran.

So my question for you today is this. How do we restore peace in the world through American strength, while also putting America first here at home?

I’m concerned that we’re still stationed and deployed in Germany, Korea, Japan, NATO all over the Middle East, defending other countries. But we’ve never been weaker globally or here at home.

So how do we get back to a position of strength without having to be the world’s police force?

And if I may, sir, as a West Point grad, I’d also like to ask that, as you work to de-woke our military, that you pay careful attention to the generals that you put in charge at our academies and ROTC program and the curriculum there.

Audience erupts in applause

President Trump
I have the answer. I have the answer.

I love you. Write my foreign policy, please, because what you just said.

You know, I was bringing troops back home. I got out of Syria. I defeated ISIS because it was the only way I started no new wars. As you know, for 79 years, this had not happened. No new wars. I finished off ISIS. It was supposed to take five years. I did it in a month, month and a half.

And by the way, we have a great military. When I said do it, they did it five years. You know what, five years? Because the Washington generals, the guys you see on television, they’re terrible. They’re terrible. The real generals out in the these guys are unbelievable. The job they did on ISIS. Unbelievable.

Okay, so. You are right about the academies too, it’s all going to be changed.

We don’t have a woke military. We have a couple of woke guys in the top. A few woke people. I really got to know them during the fight on ISIS, which we won, we beat ISIS in like it was supposed to take, literally five years, and I did it in a month.

Our military is great. You could put these guys in a cage and scream Woke at them for two years and let them out, and they’re coming out fighting. They’re never going woke. They’re never going woke. Don’t worry about it. But thank you for your question. And I love the way you phrased that question. We are it’s got to be America first.

And we’re going to help people. But there’s no reason for us to have 60,000 soldiers in this country, 40,000 soldiers, and we never get paid. South Korea, we have 42,000 soldiers there. They don’t pay. I made them pay. Everyone raised hell and Biden took the deal. And he said they don’t pay anymore. Not since they Korea. And they’re a rich country.

No, we cannot be taken advantage of any longer in trade, in the military. And I love the way you phrased that question. Thank you.
