House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) recoiled at a question Thursday about President Trump's first overseas trip, suggesting she was being baited into criticizing him and then going on a tangent wondering why Trump chose to visit Saudi Arabia first. The reporter asked for her "impressions" of Trump's visit, which has also included stops in Israel, the West Bank, Italy and Belgium, and whether she thought it had been "successful." Pelosi appeared bothered by the query, saying she would not criticize Trump while he was abroad. "Here's the thing," she said. "I was in four countries, five countries during the break, and during that time, if anybody said anything to me … they would bring up President Trump … I said, you know what? That's not why we're here … We don't go overseas and criticize our president, so if that's what you came to this meeting to do, that's not what we are here to do."
She added there would be some "things to say" later about his visit, such as his "unusual decision" to visit Saudi Arabia first. She appeared to make a joke that it wasn't "alphabetical." -- "Saudi Arabia?" she asked. "It wasn't even alphabetical." She remarked the previous five U.S. presidents visited either Canada or Mexico in their first overseas visit. "What was the decision-making process to go to Saudi Arabia first?" she asked. "That's a question that I have, and what policy flows from that? There are further questions I'll have when the president returns." In Saudi Arabia, Trump delivered an address on terrorism to Muslim leaders that called on them to oust violent extremists from their midsts and defined the war against terrorism as a battle between good and evil.

Didn’t we pay for her trip to go and shop in Rome, visit the pope and whoop it up on our dime?
Didn’t she get unlimited Gulfstreams to go back and forth from DC, sometimes having some on standby and never using and we got hit with the bill from that?
How does she get to DC now? Who is paying for it?
Why don’t these dinosaurs retire?
Professional Idiot
If her “alphabetical” comment was supposed to be a joke, she sure didn’t show any sign of it - nor did the audience.
More likely the old bat is simply losing what little of her mind is left.
This overseas trip is critical to the future of the US and its peoples, the world and the search for peace.
Interesting that there was a bold bomber in Manchester England during this trip. ISIS surely got enough face time out of it....but even better....the Brits and likely our CIA got a heads up on what I perceive to be a monstrous cell.
As far as the security breech....there are USA news people everywhere with "0" ethics. If you don't think they will use long range lenses and snuggle up to locals with a bit of knowledge, you're kidding yourself. This is the rotten media at work.
When they were imbedded with our troops, they were forbidden to release news in real time. We need something similar under penalty of "life in prison". And don't give me the "free press cr**". It doesn't apply to "espionage".
Which seas did they cross to get to these two countries?
Impeach!
Pelosi that is
....or go extinct.
“Didn’t she get unlimited Gulfstreams to go back and forth from DC, sometimes having some on standby and never using and we got hit with the bill from that?”
Her personal plane is a lot bigger than a Gulfstream. It’s a Boeing 757, basically configured as a miniature Airforce 1. It was issued to her when she was Speaker of the House. And, she still has use of it as apparently no one has the courage to take it away from the old witch.

> We don’t go overseas and criticize our president,
I finally found an issue where McCain doesn’t agree with Pelosi. Unfortunately it’s the one issue where he should agree with her.
Obama did a victory lap through the Muslim region of the world and then was joined by his wife once he was safe from Islamic theocratic rule.
That’s what I remember from 2009. The half American telling the rest of the world on foreign soil how much America sucked until he became president.
No way in hell she didn’t criticize Trump while she was there...off the record.
One can picture the facepalms and laughs foreign leaders do when trying to make sense of Nancys nonsensical ramblings.
Not sure how she flies most of the time, but last Saturday, Nancy was on the same plane from Sacramento to Houston.that I was on. She flew 1st class and was escorted to the plane by local cops (which she slipped money to as she boarded ) She was in Sac for the Democratic State rally. Don’t know why she was flying to Houston, unless to switch planes to Washington. The plane was a 737, not fancy. United was the carrier. She didn’t respond to MAGA as I walked by her seat.
She probably didn’t respond to MAGA because she was already slipping into a coma.
