Trump Met by Silence at Meeting of Generals
September 30, 2025 at 10:20 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“President Donald Trump was met by silence as he began his address to hundreds of senior U.S. military officers, a contrast from the rousing applause he expects at his speeches,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before.”

He continued: “If you want to applaud, you applaud.”
