5:35Now PlayingThe altright loves calling people snowflakes, but soft, melty Trump appears to be the poster child for snowflakery. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"This represents a return to the self-pitying note that Trump struck during a commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday. Trump has long since abandoned the tradition that remarks involving the military be nonpartisan, using them to reminisce about his victory in November. On Wednesday, he added gripes to his spiel:

You can’t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams. I guess that’s why we won.
