This is another edition and reminder that the President of the United States of America has yet to visit troops in a war zone, but Democratic Senator Kamala Harris has.
Over the weekend, Senator Harris went with Republican Senators Richard Burr and James Lankford, to visit troops in Afghanistan.
The three Senators serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
"The timing of the trip is likely to invite speculation about Harris’ 2020 presidential ambitions. Harris is a former prosecutor and ex-California attorney general, and foreign policy is one area where she could be looking to bolster her credentials heading into a wide-open Democratic primary season," writes the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicle also notes that Senator Harris had previously visited troops stationed in Iraq.
The HillReporter notes that not only has Trump not visited troops in war zones, but that he hasn't even gone to see troops he had deployed at the border, "where several thousand U.S. soldiers will spend their holidays bolstering security."
Chairman of VoteVets Jon Soltz, released a statement amidst reports that Donald Trump is "afraid" to go to war zones:
In a tweet, VoteVets mocked Trump not visiting troops in Afghanistan, saying "maybe if we built a nice golf course on a base in Afghanistan, Trump would finally visit the troops in a war zone?"
It baffles me that a veteran, or someone still serving in the military could support this fucking asshole.
Trump is such an asshole, that he has yet to even visit the troops he sent to the border, as noted by The Hill Reporter.
