Trump hints could make first visit to Afghanistan

PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump hinted on Thursday he may visit Afghanistan, scene of one of America’s longest wars but a country he has yet to visit almost two years into his presidency.

Delivering a Thanksgiving Day holiday message by teleconference to troops in Afghanistan, Trump told a U.S. Air Force general he would see him back in the United States, before adding: “Or maybe I’ll even see you over there. You never know what’s going to happen.”

Recent U.S. commanders-in-chief have routinely visited troops in active war zones but such trips are typically cloaked in secrecy for security reasons.

Trump has not made such a visit so far, though Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise trip to Bagram Air Base last December to visit troops.

1. tRump lies just like he always does

Teases something that he should do, and then won't do it.

2. He's probably referring to visiting an Afghan run in one of his mansions.

3. I'd arrange for him to fly to North Sentinel Islands

Instead of Afghanistan. Let him try to convert the natives into trumpies.

4. I'll believe it when I see it.

Not expecting to see it. That lying coward will say anything to distract people.
