President Donald Trump arrived in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to rally U.S. troops involved in the nearly two-decade-old war effort.

Trump secretly left his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida Wednesday night and set out across the globe to offer holiday greetings to the service members stationed overseas. It marks Trump’s second trip to a combat zone, following last year’s Christmas trip to Iraq.

Way cool. I was hoping he’d do this. Didn’t he and Melania do this a couple years ago — either at Christmas or Thanksgiving?

Hope CSPAN adds this coverage to their schedule because both CNN and Fox bailed out and OANN lost the signal. MSLSD is airing alternative programming.

There was a bilateral meeting as well.

God Bless our Commander-in-Chief!!

Trump thinking about others.

God Bless Trump.

He's in it and given himself for the sake of America which he loves. May we learn form his example.

This is at least a 12 hour plane trip...

That takes some stamina

“end endless wars now...”

Wish it was that easy.

Ain’t got enough bullets. And they don’t quit, they don’t compromise, and they intend to die killing us for their heaven and they are financially assisted from all over the world to include the US from Mosques and Islamic Centers everywhere.

Not going to happen. Bush told the truth. And if we pull out, it will just kick it down the road and cross the oceans.

I'm sure that Air Force 1 has some pretty swanky sleeping quarters for Donald and Melania.

Next year he'll have the opportunity to shake the hands of service members who weren't even born when 9/11 happened.
