In the middle of his almost hour-long commencement speech to graduates at West Point, Donald Trump went off on a rambling discussion of "trophy wives" to a mostly silent crowd.
Wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat, the president decided to discuss pioneering real-estate developer William Levitt, as he recalled meeting him at a New York party.

"A lot of trophy wives doesn't work out. But it made them happy for a little while at least," he continued. "But he found a new wife, he sold his little boat and he got a big yacht; he had one of the biggest yachts anywhere in the world. He moved for a time to Monte Carlo, and he led the good life. and time went by and he got bored and 15 years later, the company that he sold to called him and they said, 'The housing business is not for us.'"
