The best POTUS, folks!

LINK

quote:

President Trump used the cover of the partial government shutdown to slip off to visit US troops in Iraq. Trump and first lady Melania Trump met with military personnel on Wednesday at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq, according to photos from Reuters.


quote:

His whereabouts sparked speculation about what Trump was up to because he hadn’t tweeted in more than 17 hours, no press aides were in the media office and lights were turned off on the second floor where White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has her office. It is the first time Trump has visited the troops in a war zone since becoming president.

Didn't somebody post a story that DJT was the first President since '02 to not visit the troops?

To think that I just praised him for not wasting resources on a stupid multi-million-dollar photo op.

This is great. All we have to do is state what we want the President to do, say he is gutless for not doing it, and then he will do it.

We should start a thread to identify what we want him to do next.

he would not have gone at all but needed a political ploy to save face. so, in other words, this is simply politics. he was more worried about criticism than doing the right thing.
