President Trump, 79, praised America’s military while calling out Democrats for the budget stalemate. “Despite the current Democrat-induced shutdown, we’ll make sure our service members get every last penny,” Trump told the cheering crowd. Moments later, chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” filled the air as the President laughed and admitted, “Let’s face it — this feels like a rally.” He capped off his remarks with his familiar dance to “Y.M.C.A.” — a signature moment that drew roaring applause.
Then, Melania Trump stepped up to the podium — and immediately captured everyone’s attention.
The First Lady began her remarks by shouting, “Hooyah, Navy!” prompting an enthusiastic “Hooyah!” in response from the crowd of sailors. But while the Navy members knew exactly what it meant, many watching online were left scratching their heads.
