They can make all the servants, aides, grounds keepers stay home. They can restrict travel to necessary transportation only. They can cripple the White House Staff. If I'm Pelosi, I'm shutting off the heat.

Trump Tweets

.@FLOTUS Melania and I were honored to visit our incredible troops at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!

Apparently they visited troops for all of 30 minutes.

I wonder if they'll be using canned applause when the photo are ready.

It takes 2/3 of both houses to override a veto.

I don't think I've seen anything saying Trump had actually vetoed the spending bill. Or if Congress even sent it to him. Does anyone know?
 
Where did "the troops" in Iraq get these MAGA hats Trump is signing?

Did the WH actually hand out campaign/political paraphernalia to US Troops on an "official" visit?

I think it's just damage control for a really bad week. I wondered why we didn't see any Tweets from him this morning. Apparently traveling.

With that "really bad week" including criticism for being the first president not to visit the troops at Christmas since 2002.

Let's note that the Dow shot up while he was out of the country. Maybe we should send him on a round-the-world cruise.
 
NYT: Podiatrist’s Daughters Say He Diagnosed Trump With Bone Spurs During War As A ‘Favor’

The diagnosis allowed Donald Trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.

NYT: Podiatrist’s Daughters Say He Diagnosed Trump With Bone Spurs During War As A ‘Favor’

The diagnosis allowed Donald Trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.

Dr. Larry Braunstein, a podiatrist who died in 2007, often told the story of providing Donald Trump with the diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels so he could be exempt from military service, his two daughters -- Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel -- told the New York Times.

I can completely believe that.
Bone spurs do not go away over time. If he had bone spurs then, he has them now. Odd how he doesn't seem to have any trouble walking now.
 
Trump didn't meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi while he was there because he had asked the Iraqi leader to travel from the capital, Baghdad, to meet Trump in Al Asad.
Mahdi wouldn't go.
 
Trump to the troops in Iraq:
"You haven’t gotten [a raise] in more than ten years. More than ten years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one....I said no. Make it ten percent. Make it more than ten percent. Because it’s been a long time."

There are many lies in that. But there is one other point. Everyone in that room has received a raise bigger than the less than 3% cola adjustment... because they have been promoted or time in rate. A raise with a promotion is a raise
