【Trump: I had planned to thank more people in my Veterans Day speech, but the weather was a bit cold, so I decided not to.】
On November 11, 2025, Washington time, U.S. President Donald Trump gave a speech at Arlington Cemetery on the occasion of the U.S. Veterans Day:
We love you. We honor you. We will never forget everything you did to protect the safety, sovereignty, and freedom of the United States. They did something above all else. They put America first. They are very, very special people, always in our hearts.
At the end of the speech, Trump thanked a long list of U.S. government officials attending the ceremony, especially highlighting House Speaker Mike Johnson. He honored Johnson because the government is about to reopen after a long shutdown.
Trump ended with a joke:
I had planned to personally thank more people who attended, but the weather was a bit cold, so I had to rethink.
