President Donald Trump found another opportunity to attack the media during a commencement ceremony at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday.

Trump stayed fairly on-script for the first half of the speech, but was quick to praise his administration and lash out at the media while offering advice to the graduates.

Never ever, ever give up. Things will work out just fine, Trump said. Look at the way Ive been treated lately, especially by the media.

Trump argued no politician in history ... has been treated worse or more unfairly by the media.

Trump then touted his accomplishments, arguing his administration saved the Second Amendment and claiming plans for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border are going along very, very well. Trump said he was elected to serve the forgotten men and women of our country.
