On Saturday afternoon, while speaking at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, Donald Trump spent much of his speech attacking the media. “I have a running war with the media,” he said while pivoting to the coverage of the attendance at the inauguration. “They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth.” At that point, the intelligence agents in attendance for the speech applauded.

That somewhat surreal moment took place at the CIA Memorial Wall. Consisting of 117 stars carved into the wall, each star represents a CIA operative killed in action whose service cannot be acknowledged for security reasons. On CNN, the comparison made was that it is effectively the Agency’s equivalent to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Whether or not it was an appropriate location for a largely thin-skinned, self-centered speech is likely to be debated in the coming days, as is the reaction of those in attendance.

Watch the full speech above, via CNN.
