Okay, this is the coolest thing you will see all day. President Trump visited Fort Bragg on Tuesday afternoon as part of the Army’s 250th anniversary celebrations. During his visit, he addressed thousands of troops, but before he gave his speech, he watched the 82nd Airborne Division in action!

Before his expected remarks at Fort Bragg, Trump sat under a canopy to watch the demonstrations, a preview of the kind of show of American military might he’s expected to display in the nation’s capital for a massive military parade this weekend. Fort Bragg, which is located near Fayetteville, North Carolina, serves as headquarters for U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Highly trained units like the Green Berets and the 82nd Airborne are based there. The atmosphere resembled a state fair with military flair. Inflatable slides and attractions for children were set up in a field, with artillery, trucks and helicopters parked on another section of the lawn. Right outside the security checkpoint — but still on the base — two stands were selling Trump political hats, T-shirts and other paraphernalia. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll were also at Tuesday’s event, along with service members, veterans and their families. Driscoll, who spoke to the crowd earlier in the afternoon, called Trump “the greatest recruiter in our Army’s history.” Trump has promoted the Army’s anniversary as a reason to hold a military parade in Washington on Saturday, which is also his 79th birthday. Tanks and other vehicles will roll down city streets in a reminder of how the Republican president is reshaping the armed forces after returning to the White House this year. Here is a highlight from Trump’s speech: Trump has paratroopers booing the Biden Admin at a Fort Bragg rally. Truly one of his best rallies to date. Such a white pill that we’ve been able to hang on to this institution through everything that’s happened.pic.twitter.com/JHZWrzo98P — BowTiedRanger (@BowTiedRanger) June 10, 2025 Aren’t you glad we now have a competent Commander in Chief?
