16. Hi Prairie Gates. Trumpf is not POTUS yet, so what's her rush? She has four years to see him.

Do you think Joe Biden appreciated the fact that the Italian PM flew over to see Trumpf before his imminent summit with her in Rome?

We can't read his mind, but I don't think he liked it.

From a taxpayer expense, her boondoggle cost Italy money, as well as the US.

The USSS provides security teams for world leaders when they are on US soil, cocooning the foreign leader's own bodyguards. The State Dept issues visas for those personnel and her aircraft gets extra careful treatment and security at MIA. Local police are paid overtime to lead her motorcade from the airport to Mar-a-Lago. Then we reverse the order when she departs.

All this, just to see a man who is not president yet?

We can agree to disagree, Prairie Gates, if you think "snub" was the wrong word.
