President Donald Trump delivered the commencement speech at the U.S. Naval Academy’s graduation ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland on Friday and vowed to shake the hand of each outgoing student.

“I could make this commencement address — which is a great honor for me — and immediately leave and wave goodbye.”

“Or, I could stay and shake hands with just the top 100.”

“Or I could stay for hours and shake hands with 1,100 and something.”

“What should I do? What should I do?” Trump asked the cheering crowd.

“I’ll stay, I’ll stay!”

Following the commencement address, ABC News released a 41-second time-lapse video of President Trump shaking hands with hundreds of graduates for close to an hour and a half.
