PRESIDENT Trump has admitted he was worried about the safety of his wife Melania during a surprise visit to US troops in Iraq, which took place yesterday.

“When I heard what you had to go through.

“I had concerns about the institution of the presidency. Not for myself personally.

I wish I could remember which pundit was touting Hillary as a “war-time First Lady. “. What a crock.

He had to keep the trip a secret from the Democrats because they would have notified Iran, al Queda, ISIS, Taliban. You know, their friends.

There is nothing Ttump needs to make up to you or anyone else. His tweets are just fine.

Melania: Brains, courageous and beauty. A woman that other women can look up to and emulate.

If she was in danger then he was in danger. Should he have stayed home as well or just left her home?

It doesn’t say he was worried about himself... just her.
I figure he’s got enough to worry about already.

Don’t you?

Once I heard about his trip, I was thinking what a courageous first lady (and President) because no doubt there were security concerns. I know other Presidents have made such trips. But I don’t know that any other First Ladies have done so....and I use the term “ladies” on purpose.

did he get shot at while in the air like Brian Williams? Did he have to run zigzag across the tarmac under sniper fire, like Hillary?
