Reporter: What’s your message to the cadets today?
Trump: Just enjoy your life, you know? Enjoy it. They’re great guys. It’s my second time at the Coast Guard Academy. They’re great guys. We like them. You know, you don’t realize how important Coast Guard is until you have a hurricane, and I remember the big hurricane in Texas, where these kids go on boats, and they’re going into the waves that are 20 times higher than the boat, and I say, can they really make it?
I’m watching this, and they say they find a way, but they were going into waves, these massive waves, to save people that were inside, and you don’t realize it, but boy, they are good, they are good seamen, they are unbelievable. I wouldn’t want to do it. I’m a very brave person; I wouldn’t want to do it.
Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at 11 am ET.
