July 27: Over the course of the speech,
Trump threatened to fire his Health and Human Services secretary, repeatedly

went on a tangent about a wealthy man who “got bored with his life of yachts and
sailing,” “lost all of his money,” and later ran into Trump at a cocktail party
with “the hottest people in New York.”

Trump also suggested that the children in the crowd had voted for him in the
election when most of them would not have been eligible.

“I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were
offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was
never our intent,” Michael Surbaugh, whose title is chief Scout executive, wrote
in a
message posted online.
