During his recent visit to Fort Bragg, former President Trump delivered a campaign-style speech where he praised the special forces involved in the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. He highlighted the bravery of US helicopter pilots who were wounded during the operation and announced plans to award a Congressional Medal of Honor to one of the soldiers. Trump urged troops to vote for Republican candidates, warning that a Democratic victory could lead to changes in the name of the base. His remarks mixed military celebration with political rhetoric, as he emphasized US military strength and recruitment while expressing affection for the base, suggesting he and Melania might consider moving to the area.
