Trump said Roach achieved perfect scores on every fitness test for four straight years, which was described as possibly an all-time record. Trump reacted with surprise and admiration, calling Roach up to the podium to see him. After Roach returned to his seat, Trump joked about the impact of a handshake, saying it felt like hitting a rock.
"Trump shook his hand and congratulated him when he got to the podium. Then, the graduate returned to his seat. Just hit him in the shoulder. I hurt my hand, Trump joked. It's like hitting a rock. That's great, Thomas. That's fantastic."
