Consider the chaos of Trump's upcoming foreign travel

Last edited Wed May 10, 2017, 11:13 PM - Edit history (1)

In just over a week, on Friday May 19, Trump leaves for a 10-day trip to Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Vatican, Brussels, and Sicily. Who knows what will be going on with the investigations by then, but later no doubt it will still be hopping. Quite the distraction.

Add that Obama will be in Berlin with Merkel on May 25, prior to her joining Trump in Sicily. I expect there will be a lot of things getting under Trump's skin the next few weeks. It will be interesting to watch. I will be in Europe the next four weeks, in Belgium when Trump is there.

Can Trump hold it together while traveling for this long?

Treasonous behavior pops up first, possibly released somewhere in Europe.

Pretty much everything he does rates pretty high on the nightmare scale.

and none of those places is particularly famous for its golfing amenities. Oh, they've got them, especially Saudi Arabia and Belgium, but they're not particularly famous for them.

Merkel already knows he's an idiot. It's going to come as a surprise to the rest.
