‘Woke is Bullsh*t!’ Trump Stirs Up Crowd at TPUSA Summit By Ranting About Renaming Military Bases
President-elect Donald Trump received thunderous applauses at Turning Point USA’s conference while vowing to not change the names of military bases and naval ships to something “woke.”
Trump spoke to thousands of supporters on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix, Arizona, during Turning Point’s annual AmericaFest. The crowd reacted with cheers after the GOP leader vowed claimed that “woke is bullshit” while discussing the military.
Recently, Fort Bragg, a famous military facility in North Carolina, was renamed to Fort Liberty as part of the U.S. military’s initiative to remove the names of Confederate soldiers from bases. The base was originally named after Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina.
During the Sunday conference, Trump vowed to reverse the change and not allow for other bases and ships to be named after “woke” individuals.
And as commander in chief, I will restore the proud and historic names of our great military bases like Fort Bragg. We’re going to get them back. And woke has to stop because along with everything else, it’s destroying our country. We’re going to stop woke. Woke – woke is bullshit.
[Crowd Cheers]
As an example, in addition to the military bases, I understand they want to now rename 14 ships. We going to rename them. Some of these ships have had a great and glorious past. They want to take the name off and put another name down. I can imagine whose name they’re going to put up — not going to happen happened with me. It’s not happening with me.
