President Trump never misses a moment to crack a joke and make the whole room laugh…
Today while hosting the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, he suddenly commented on how he could feel all this power standing behind him, and then without missing a beat said: “I have some power too, it’s called the US Military!”
HILARIOUS!
The whole room cracked up.
Watch here:
Good-looking people, young, beautiful people. I hate ’em. They hate standing here with all this—uh, this power behind you.
But I got power too, it’s called the United States Military.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has the ENTIRE ROOM cracking up 🤣

The NY Post reports that President Trump praised the team for defeating Canada:
The team presented the president on Thursday with two championship rings, a golden hockey stick and a red jersey with a “47” and the name Trump on it. Trump is serving as the 47th president.
Trump put one of rings on and showed it off to the cameras during a White House ceremony.
And he gave his new hockey stick a wave.
“Good for slashing,” he said of it.
The president praised the team on their second Stanley Cup win and congratulated them on denying Canada the championship crown.
ADVERTISEMENT“You denied Canada the Stanley Cup,” he said as guests in the East Room burst into applause, adding the US has “a little competition” with its neighbor to the north.
