    Trump And First Lady Make Secret Trip To Iraq To Visit U.S. Troops

    https://www.npr.org/2018/12/26/680057009/trump-and-first-lady-make-secret-trip-to-iraq-to-visit-u-s-troops

    President Trump and first lady Melania Trump traveled to Iraq to visit U.S. troops the day after Christmas, a surprise trip the president had been hinting at for some time. But it comes as his decisions to pull back on U.S. troop deployments overseas have come under intense scrutiny.

    The trip was announced on Twitter by press secretary Sarah Sanders. It's the president's first such trip since taking office nearly two years ago.

    U.S. troops stationed in Iraq are there primarily to help Iraqi forces stabilize the country after its years-long battle against the Islamic State. U.S. troops numbered about 5,200 as of Oct. 31.

    As commander in chief, Trump has been an outspoken promoter of America's armed forces and veterans but has expressed opposition to the very operations he now oversees.

    Hopefully Trump brings them home, too.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    What is funny is that today the left wing Hollywood types are all tweeting the same thing.

    Trump becomes first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    I hate flying. I would hate it more x10 flying in Air Force One with Trump and Melania. You never know when a DC Critter or towel head with a shoulder mounted anti aircraft weapon would bring you down. I am glad they visited our troops though. The fighter jet cover must have been some to-do.
