Trump became President in January of 2017.
He’s only had one Christmas as President, before this one.
Missed the first two?
Did Obama visit them his last Christmas in office?
I don’t ever remember in my 71 years, a First Lady visiting the troops in combat zones with the President.
Whenever Malenia is mention pictures are required.
I can’t say I remember it either
It’s a first.
Obama only visited the troops in Hawaii during his Christmas vacation.
Hussein visited a hospital in Hawaii while on a three week Xmas vay cay, he took time out from golfing.
...and by “troops” you mean his Choomgangers.
