Trump Twitter Account Video Reveals Covert US Navy Seal Deployment During Iraq Visit
oh. my. god. Trump posted a video to his Twitter account after leaving Iraq -- and in doing so, he gave up the location and identities of SEAL Time Five members who are deployed on a covert special ops mission.

DONALD TRUMP TWITTER ACCOUNT VIDEO REVEALS COVERT U.S. NAVY SEAL DEPLOYMENT DURING IRAQ VISIT
President Donald Trump and the White House communications team revealed that a U.S. Navy SEAL team was deployed to Iraq after the president secretly traveled to the region to meet with American forces serving in a combat zone for the first time since being elected to office.
While the commander-in-chief can declassify information, usually the presence of a special operations unit, to include, showing their faces would not be revealed to the American public, especially while the U.S. service members were still deployed. Current and former Defense Department officials told Newsweek that the information is almost always classified and is a violation of operational security.
Trump flew to Iraq late Christmas Day after facing a barrage of negative headlines over the holiday season amid a partial government shutdown. The president and first lady Melania Trump posed for pictures with U.S. service members at al-Asad air base in Iraq.
After Trump left Iraqi airspace, the president posted a video to his Twitter account of his time spent with American forces during his visit to Iraq. Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” plays over the video and shows the president and the first lady posing for pictures with service members that appear to be from SEAL Team Five. The special warfare operators are dressed in full battle gear and wearing night vision goggles.
The video cuts to team members shaking the president’s hand before cutting to other special operations personnel and support troops.

Seven-year-old girl in Donald Trump call still believes in Santa
Seven-year-old girl in Donald Trump call still believes in Santa
Girl told by president it was ‘marginal’ for child her age to believe still left out milk and cookies
..................
Collman had called the Norad Tracks Santa programme on Monday night to check on Santa’s journey delivering toys. In an interview with the Charleston Post and Courier, she said the scientist who answered the Norad phone asked her if she would like to speak to the president.
Six minutes later, Trump was on the line. “Are you still a believer in Santa?” Trump asked. When she responded “yes, sir,” the president added, “Because at seven, that’s marginal, right?”
Collman did not know what “marginal” meant and simply answered: “Yes, sir.” Trump closed by saying: “Well, you just enjoy yourself.”
.................
Collman told the Post and Courier that she and her 10-year-old sister and five-year-old brother left out iced sugar cookies and chocolate milk for Santa. She reported that on Christmas morning the food was gone and presents were under the tree.

John Dean: Trump's not only gutless, he is classless & clueless.
Trump’s not only gutless, he is classless and clueless. Mattis tried to do him a favor so Trump pukes on him. The quality of his Cabinet and his staff goes lower and lower. How could any self respecting and fully qualified person take a top position with this president?https://twitter.com/JohnWDean/status/1076953601203785728
