He is our disgrace: Internet disgusted after Trump whines about media treatment in Coast Guard speechBRAD REED
17 MAY 2017 AT 12:58 ET
President Donald Trump on Wednesday used an address to the United States Coast Guard Academy to once again vent his frustrations with negative media coverage.
No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly, Trump said of himself during his address, which ended with him imploring Coast Guard cadets to enjoy your life good luck.
Reaction on the internet to Trumps complaints about unfair treatment was swift and brutal, as both liberals and conservatives slammed Trump for bringing his own personal grievances to a speech that was supposed to be about the Coast Guard.
Some of the top reactions follow below.

(11,648 posts)After slashing funds for the Coast Guard
http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/07/politics/coast-guard-cuts/
Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican and one of Trump's earliest backers, said the Office of Management and Budget's planned cuts would "severely undermine national security."
"Such a drastic reduction in Coast Guard funding would not only diminish the Coast Guard's standing and mission," Hunter wrote in a letter to Trump Thursday, it "would severely undermine US national security."
"A cut to the Coast Guard of $1.3 billion will effectively paralyze the service and create unnecessary risk and exposures to the homeland," Hunter's chief of staff, Joe Kasper, told CNN. "The OMB proposal is a joke, frankly, and it should be treated that way by the President and Congress."
