    The criticism that Trump "injected politics" into his visit with the troops ignores the fact that presidential troop visits are inherently, inescapably political -- and always have been. Trump is just more overt than usual about it.

        Interesting how you always find a way to minimize Trump's horrific behavior and try so hard to normalize him when he is in a sordid class of his own creation. For instance, the everyday lying about serious and trivial issues is breathtaking.

        You say "minimizing," I say contextualizing. And I wasn't referencing the lies here, I was referencing the notion that the visit was "politicized."

        "A US military official told CNN the MAGA hats that Trump signed at the Ramstein Air Base event in Germany were personal and brought there by military personnel in hopes of getting an autograph." https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/26/politics/iraq-trump-hats-us-troops-maga/index.html …

        In some ways Trump is more honest than most, or maybe less opaque. He actually shockingly is moving on everything he said he would. For me I find him gouche and I don't like his style but...

        It's basically what they call 'virtue signalling'.

        Overt or honest. It’s a small difference in this case

        Presidential troop visits are strong persuasion. Very strong visuals. Trump muddled the persuasion by talking.

        Nonsense. Trump didn't bring any hats or banners. The soldiers brought those hats to be signed. If Trump said no, then what would the media hysteria be like? For frigs sake haters. Get over yourselves.
