House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office responded to Donald Trump’s cancellation of her overseas trip — and explained what she was going to do on the previously-classified visit to a war zone.

Pelosi’s chief of staff Drew Hammill tweeted that on the Brussels arm of the trip, which was required for pilot rest, the California Democrat and her delegation were going to “meet with top NATO commanders, U.S. military leaders and key allies–to affirm the United States’ ironclad commitment to the NATO alliance.”

He added that Pelosi was not planned to stop in Egypt — suggesting that the White House’s statement about the trip was incorrect.

Along with expressing “appreciation and thanks” to military service members, the trip was also intended “to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines,” Hammill tweeted.

1. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief* does not want anyone watching him

as he mucks up America's military. Among other petty & unpatriotic motivations, he's trying to hide his fail.

2. So then she was going? cause there are/is posts/a post about how n.p. wasnt going anyway

[Grasswire2]

3. This means he intended to keep her from "affirming the US ironclad commitment to NATO"

A two-fer, in his mind.

Whack her, and please Putin.

5. Leaker in Chief

Like all trips to war zones, Pelosi's trip that was to end in Afghanistan was at least kept secret, and was possibly classified, for security reasons. Trump doesn't care about national security. At all. He doesn't even care about border security; the wall is just his vanity project used to throw red meat at his rabid, and rapidly dwindling, base.

14. She could have, and intended to

And was ready to fly commercial, but Trump leaked information about THAT flight too. She was told the threat had increased because of it and decided not to go. She was probably strongly urged not to go.

12. It took Donald almost two years to visit our troops in Afghanistan. It took Pelosi about two weeks,

It took Donald almost two years to visit our troops in Afghanistan.

It took Pelosi about two weeks, but got stabbed in the back.

Her trip would have been bad optics for Donald.
