Surprise !

Well, he did it again! On Thanksgiving the President made a holiday visit to Afghanistan to surprise the troops stationed there. As you probably recall President Trump made a surprise post-Christmas visit last year to Iraq.About a week ago Vice President Pence made a surprise visit with his wife to Al Assad Air Base in western Iraq. It was from this base that American Special Forces launched an operation that led to the death of the Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Among other things the Vice President and his wife, Karen served a Thanksgiving meal to the troops stationed there. As I am sure you all remember, last year President Trump and his wife, Melania, surprised the troops in Iraq and served them a Christmas meal.  I thought, ”What a nice tradition. Last year, the President, and this year the Vice President, each making the arduous trip with their wives to surprise the troops.

”But wallah! A trick play as President Trump surprised everybody with his secret 12 hour flight to Afghanistan to surprise the troops at Bagram Air Field on Thanksgiving. His first stop was the dining hall where he served turkey and thanked the troops. Before he began the long journey back to the states, he spent about three and a half hours on the ground for this holiday visit . . . the best I can tell that is three and one half hours longer that any holiday visit to the troops by the prior President. 

“Strong work again, Mr. President!”
