This is hilarious.
Remarks by President Trump at United States Coast Guard Academy Commencement Ceremony.
"I won’t talk about how much I saved you on the F-35 fighter jet. I won’t even talk about it. Or how much we’re about to save you on the Gerald Ford, the aircraft carrier. That had a little bit of an overrun problem before I got here, you know that. Still going to have an overrun problem. We came in when it was finished. But we’re going to save some good money. And when we build the new aircraft carriers they’re going to be built under budget and ahead of schedule, just remember that. (Applause.) That will allow us to build more."
No doubt, if the USCG had any fighter aircraft this would be pertinent. They do not have any. What they do have are 211 aircraft of the flowing types:
C-37A Gulfstream V
HC-144A The Ocean Sentry
HC-130J Super Hercules
HC-130H Hercules
HU-25 Guardian
MH-65 Dolphin
MH-60J/T Jayhawk
Also, ROFLMAF, the USCG has boats and cutters, but no aircraft carriers. So, regardless of budgets and schedules it doesn't matter to the Coast Guard. I'm sure they were touched by your germane comments regarding the capabilities and mission of their service branch.
This was amusing as well: "Look at the way I’ve been treated lately -- (laughter) -- especially by the media. No politician in history -- and I say this with great surety -- has been treated worse or more unfairly."
May want to bone up on some 19th/20th century U.S. history Mr. President. According to WordPress; "Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln were portrayed by contemporary newspapers as backwoods yokels, clever schemers, and evil tyrants. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson suffered widespread attacks both on their policies and on their characters. Franklin Roosevelt was subjected to an unparalleled ten-year campaign of abuse and vilification by a great majority of the nation’s newspapers and magazines. Harry Truman was held up to ridicule and contempt by the press through most of his time in the White House. John Kennedy felt that he was dealt with unfairly by the press—mainly by some of the leading metropolitan newspapers in the East and by the news magazines. And Lyndon Johnson believed that the entire press was so nostalgic for Kennedy and so dominated by snobbish Easterners that it was incapable of appreciating his own accomplishments, or even of treating him decently. All these Presidents resented the attacks on them, despised the press for willfully distorting the truth as they saw it, and felt that the press often had grievously harmful effects on the nation. Still, they knew that nothing could be done to prescribe bounds to the press, because its freedom was guaranteed by the Constitution in order to give the people some independent means of learning what their government was doing, and because it would be impossible to assert what was fair and what was unfair without asserting a dictatorial power over the press."
I would recommend you pay particular attention to the last sentence
