Why focus on this stuff during President Trump’s historic visit overseas, the conservative internet is asking. It’s a fair question.

There’s nothing new, sadly, about selling billions of dollars of arms to the country where those involved in 9/11 hailed from.

And yeah, not sure you noticed, but folks are concerned about Mr. Trump’s relationship to women—most of all, his wife, who lives separately at the kind of taxpayer expense that would have had Trump fans try to ship President Obama overseas.

Could his relationship with women be…a fireable expense (Billy Bush was fired for nodding to what Donald said). Could it be their relationship seems less warm than that of the Bushes, or the Obamas?
