Only 24 hours ago, MSNBC attempted to shame President Trump for not visiting our troops overseas during Christmas time. They tweeted: P
President Trump becomes first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime.

MSNBC immediately got what was coming to them when it was discovered only a couple of hours after they tweeted that President Trump and First Lady Melania had landed in Iraq and was visiting with our troops.
Michael Little’s response to MSNBC was perfect: That is why he is pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan so he does not have to visit them in combat zones.
When parent company NBC attempted to trash President Trump by bashing him for not traveling to visit our troops during Christmas, the Trump hating Rick Wilson suggested that President Trump is a coward for not showing up in the Middle East.
Which is it, MAGAs? Cowardice or indifference?

In response to the unhinged former fight/talk show host, Montel Williams tweeted his version of what President Trump was doing “Instead of visiting the troops,” Hollywood dingbat Allysa Milano reminded her followers that Trump is the first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime.

TheTruthIsOutThere responded to Montel Williams tweet, setting the record straight:
Trump didn’t crash the stock market. Trump isn’t “at war” with Mattis. Ending Obama’s unauthorized war is not a “gift to Vlad.” Trump’s immigration policy did not kill those poor kids; blame the irresponsible parents if you must blame someone. Trump *and* Melania went to Iraq.

Three hours later, (and to her credit) Alyssa Milano tweeted the news that Trump was in Iraq visiting our troops.

John Cardillo of NewsMax nailed it with his tweet:
The leftist media tried to shame Trump for not visiting the troops while he was in the air en route to Iraq, then took credit for ‘shaming him’ into going to Iraq even though they tweeted after he was in the air. And that boys and girls is Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The NYP reports – Trump, wearing a dark suit and red tie, and first lady Melania Trump met with military personnel on Wednesday at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq just west of Baghdad – his first visit with military members in a war zone since he entered the White House almost two years ago.
He told the gathered servicemen and women, many of whom were wearing fatigues, that he has “no plans at all” to pull them out of the country, where they’ve been helping Iraq forces battle Islamic State terrorists.
The commander-in-chief also defended his controversial decision to withdraw the 2,000 US troops in Syria that are leading a global coalition against the terror group.
The mission in the war-torn country was never intended to be “open-ended,” Trump said, adding that Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan assured him that he would finish the fight against ISIS.
“I think a lot of people are going to come around to my way of thinking. It’s time for us to start using our head,” he told the troops.
Besides, he said, if needed, the US can attack the terrorists “so fast and so hard” that they “won’t know what the hell happened.”
