Again, I voted trump and am very far removed from the deranged left. But I’m also not going to defend something I disagree with just because trump did it. And I’m going to call out shitty excuse making when I see it

fricking shitass

He is bringing a bunch home, probably more meaningful than a fricking photo op, which I suspect is a pain in the arse for everybody

Liberals wish Trump would have called for Troop surges so there would be more troops to visit.

Holy frick, how can you be so completely stupid?

When Obama was bringing troops home from Iraq, all we heard from the right was a bunch of whining, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

When Obama was bringing troops home from Afghanistan, all we heard from the right was a bunch of whining, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

You people are truly beyond the motherfricking pale.

I think what you meant to say was, "When Obama was ending the Iraq mission only to send those same troops back 3 years later."

Any other way to write it is simply false.

I hated dignitary visits during the holidays, it meant I didn’t get to spend my holiday the way I wanted, but rather participating in a dog and pony show for propaganda purposes.

Kudos to Trump for considering the feelings of the troops.

He’s Pulling US ground forces out of Syria. Not a bad move IMHO.

Your OP is ignorant. If you research President GW Bush he insisted on visiting the troops during the holidays and AF1 went in dark. The risk to many was not worth a photo op.

Bottom line: In today's technology you can go video conferences with troops around the world which is what Trump did.

Trump could cure cancer and you would criticize and make cancer the good guy and Trump the bad.

Since you guys think Baby Trump is such a stand up guy, and revel in Fox made up outrage like Obama's coffee cup salute, I've got one for you. Trump again sulks and fumes instead of honoring our servicemen.
Further the blowhard has yet to visit troops in a combat area. He's been at the job (poorly) for two years.
Instead he tweets "poor me" because he's all alone at the White House.
I loathe Trump.

POTUS visits to troops are useless photo ops. I am glad he stayed in DC. Good Trump.

His “home alone” tweet was not whining. He was poking the Dems with a stick. Good Trump.

So you're saying he SHOULD be spending millions of tax dollars on excessive trips for platitudes? That the SS and other agencies should expend resources so the POTUS can score some political points?

But muh Mar-a-largo!
