'I hate good-looking men': Trump's Coast Guard speech goes off the rails

Trump gave a bizarre but familiar speech for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy commencement ceremony, according to reporting by the New York Times.

"I hate good-looking men," Trump said as a cadet greeted him on stage, the Times reported. "I like to see what these guys are like!"

Speaking for nearly an hour, Trump boasted that he also delivered the prestigious military academy's commencement speech in 2017, according to the report.

"I'm thrilled to become the first president to ever give a second keynote address to this storied institution," Trump said, even though Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all have the same distinction," the Times noted. Still, Trump said, "I'm very proud of that honor."

Trump appeared to repeat a line from the last time he gave the commencement speech, the report pointed out.

On Wednesday, he told cadets, "Whatever danger comes our way, you will fight, fight, fight," which was similar to his 2017 line, "You have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight," the Times reported.

As cadets came up to shake his hand on stage, Trump couldn't help but comment on how they looked.

"Look at the muscles on this guy," he said, according to the report. When he saw a female cadet, Trump remarked, "If I didn't invite her up, they'd accuse me of discrimination."

The report noted that on Trump's first day back in office, his administration fired U.S. Coast Guard Adm. Linda L. Fagan, the first female officer to lead a U.S. military branch.

Trump veered into talking about the war in Iran and touted the destruction there.

"Everything's gone. Their navy's gone. Their air force is gone, just about everything," Trump said. "The only question is, do we go and finish it up, or are they going to be signing a document? Let's see what happens."

The president then said he would like to return and deliver the commencement speech again.

"We're going to have to try it maybe a third time, too, to keep that record intact," he said, according to the report.
