Mainstream media ran with the narrative of Donald Trump not visiting the troops during Christmastime, and being the first President to not do so since 2002. That flawed narrative fell apart when Trump made a surprise visit to Iraq on Wednesday, the day after Christmas, followed up with a trip to Germany to visit more troops there. Damage control mode was instantly initiated. Accusations of “caving to the pressure of negative articles” started to pop up. People said he did it just for PR. Others then attacked the jacket he had on. Melania Trump was wearing 6 inch construction Timberland Boots as part of her outfit, people almost made it into a racial thing. Some said she was wearing “combat” boots. Really weird and fanciful lies and narratives were spun! But to go a step further, the statistic was bogus from the beginning. “First President since 2002 only includes two Presidents.” George W and Obama. It’s not some type of long-standing tradition. Bush Jr. visited wounded warriors at Walter Reed in the DC area from 2003-2008. Not in 2001 after 9/11 or in the following year. Obama would visit troops on Marine Corps Base Hawaii during his Christmas vacation with his wife and children. None of them visited active warzones or went outside of the United States like Trump.
