All white men and one brown woman! Boy that’s a excellent representation of the men and women serving.

Wish he would go to Syria.

Just can’t help yourself can ya?

You call 2 hours a “visit”?

Oh look CPT Bone Spurs is a yellow yellow coward.

Now that he’s been to a war zone, how long till he nominates himself for The congressional Medal of Honor? GregShugar DarthHendrick krassenstein EdKrassen

Only took 2 years

Trump Lies to Troops..: 'You haven’t gotten [a raise] in more than ten years. More than ten years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one....I said no. Make it ten percent. Make it more than ten percent. Because it’s been a long time.' Just FYI, none of this is true.

How many other FLOTUS visited during the Holidays?

There is a big difference. POTUS did not start the WAR in Iraqi! I hope HE will end it once and for all. No more illegal fake wars with real innocent dead people.

Trump 'This golf course is the worst... It's all Sand Traps'

Lets not look at two previous war criminals inspecting their work. Because that glorifies it! When will you learn!

Why is it that every photo of him, looks like a butt hole on his mouth? Is he incapable of speaking without 'o'-ing his lips? Blue Steel wannabe.

why does his mouth always look like it's about to accept cock?

Stop ap just stop

Trash.

The bar has been lowered so severely for this idiot that his supporters claim victory when he actually does his job. Trump visiting troops is like a man bragging about taking care of his kids. Fool, that’s what you supposed to do! Nothing burger

he really has no shame.

Why are American troops still in Iraq? colonization

Not for nothing, him going there is crying shame as to why we’re still there. Like the 2 before him spent two terms in office while this war was going on. We been there at war for a long time

Look at realDonaldTrump mouth, BBC on the mind! 🤣 HouseGOP SenateGOP GOP nytimes WSJ washingtonpost latimes chicagotribune HoustonChron CNN BBCBreaking Reuters HuffPost BreakingNews politico NYMag ABC CBSNews NBCNews XHNews KremlinRussia_E DPRK_News

Mission Accomplished.

I gotta admit President Trump trolling skills are Ninja level.

Best president ever

M.

?

Fake news

Any oil in iraq,cheney?

He only went because he is drowning in criminal scandals and because he gets criticized for never going. He wouldn't have gone otherwise.

legit question. if isil has been defeated, and clearly saddam is out of the picture, WHY are we still in Iraq

It’s sad the president does something important to those troops, and to the country, then AP compares it to others. Why not be grateful for this?

❤ My President

I'm still curious, where're the WMD we went to Ieaq in the place for? Honestly, we have no business being in Iraq.

You sure this isn't CGI ?

Haven't our troops in Iraq suffered enough?

All the whine bag responses on here remind me how much true hate for America there truly is. Everyone was sooooo emotionally connected to President Obama that they’d rather continue this vitriol.

Went from first president since 2002 to not visit American troops to 3rd president to visit Iraq soldiers. MSM easts their words on a daily basis

Haha after ALL the media trashed him for not doing anything. He had plans in the tuck. Great Job Mr. President realDonaldTrump

Go Trump Go!!

you should tell yahoo this

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

They must have told him Iraq was a new golf course.

best President in US history!! MerryChristmas screw the anti-American brainwashed sheep that think different!!

Pssht. Now that the Iran-Iraq-Syria Natural Gas pipeline can go ahead, he is probably there to sign a LOA on some associated business interest.

I've not read the article as yet, however, as soon as I looked at the picture and saw Trump with his hands spread out and his mouth wide open, I knew that he wasn't there for an update from them but to give them an update on himself. Strange.

[AP] Trump to troops kn Iraq: 'Buy stock for your chidren's future!' +1,000pts. cc michaelsantoli RedDogT3 jimiuorio cra

All solders goto hell.....they are just tools.

Ok so let’s switch the narrative now from 1st president to not visit troops on Xmas since 2002, to this crap. He’s saving face because he had a 16 day vacation planned at 1 point, and Iraq wasn’t listed then. ResignTrump bullshit

and...?

First one to do it grudgingly.

He’s gonna use the trip to Iraq as a ruse to get his orange bloated ass to Florida for his New Years party. gopisacult NOWallEver

Where’s the proof the pic WAS TAKEN in Iraq Sounds fishy

websterelizabet We only care about realDonaldTrump

A little less ball sucking in your headlines in the future please?

Third US Pres to visit. Time to get out of there, don't ya think? GoodGrief

MELANIATRUMP IS THE FIRST FLOTUS TO VISIT AN ACTIVE WARZONE! SHE IS SO BRAVE AND AMAZING! MICHELLE OBAMA NEVER DID THAT! MAGA

Would it be fair to say that he is the third president since the Iraq war started....?

That’s fake. He’s not really there.

Trump is always the turd president...

He only did that to save his failing presidency He really looked awkward in the photos

The first to be shamed into doing it.

Keep him there.

Too bad it took everyone pointing out that Donald Trump made zero effort to visit Troops during his first 23 months.

The Latest: Trump stops to see US troops in GermanyAL-ASAD AIRBASE, Iraq (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's trip to Iraq (all times local): 4 a.m. President Donald Trump is making a second unannounced visit to US troops abroad. On his way back from meeting troops in Iraq, Trump stopped at Ramstein Air Force Base for refueling and to see service members there. The president's earlier visit to a base in western Iraq was his first to U.S. forces in harm's way overseas. Aboard Air Force One, Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that Iraq's prime minister accepted an invitation from Trump to visit the White House. The two leaders spoke by phone. They did not meet when Trump was in Iraq. Is that all of them? someone needs to let Alyssa Milano know before she puts out another tweet about 45 not visiting the troops during the holidays. With all of these unannounced visits , we decided we better clean the bathroom and put out some fresh towels.
