House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thinks President Trump may have made a mistake when he chose the nation of Saudi Arabia as the first destination on his current overseas trip. During her weekly press conference, the San Francisco liberal suggested President Trump should instead have visited nations in alphabetical order.

Pelosi's bizarre suggestion came when she was asked to give her "impressions of Trump's trip so far."

“I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia!” Pelosi said. “It wasn’t even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia.”

“Our friends and neighbors,” Pelosi added. “What was the decision-making process to go to Saudi Arabia first? That is a question that I have.”

To her credit, Pelosi declined to engage in any serious criticism of the president while he's overseas.





Alrighty then....

She's suggesting that "alphabetical order" would have been a better reason for starting his trip that the one given for making Saudi Arabia his first stop. Her reference to alphabetical order here is humorous and rhetoric (some might even call it a joke?), rather than reflective of some weird belief in the importance of Albania and the Roman alphabet.

Please don't make me defend Nancy Pelosi.

Making Saudi Arabia his first stop as president does matter.

Why did he stop in Saudi Arabia first and why was it an issue?

To answer both questions concisely: because Saudi Arabia is a repressive dictatorship that we continue to aid and abet with our allyship.

So that he could give them billions in weapons deals for them donating millions to Ivankas charity

Sometimes the story is the response to a question rather than what was being questioned.

So what reason did Trump give for visiting Saudi Arabia first?

Wow some of you guys seriously need to take a reading comprehension class. She didn't say he SHOULD have done it in alphabetical. She was questioning why he chose Saudi Arabia first and implied that the only justifiable reason for her would be if it was in alphabetical order..that does not translate to "he should have done it in alphabetical order".

Her exact quote there:

"I thought it was odd for an American president to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia? It wasn't even alphabetical, I mean, Saudi Arabia. The previous 5 presidents...four of them went to Canada first and one of them went to Mexico. In our hemisphere, our friends and neighbors. What was the decision making process to go to Saudi Arabia first?"

Seems to me that if she believed in the value of alphabetical order visits, she would not cite Canada and Mexico as positive starts. But she does not, because she's not as stupid as you want her to be. She made a joke, and it's not funny because, seriously, Nancy Pelosi. But those in the room seem to have gotten her point based on the next question, which wasn't "did you say he should visit countries in alphabetical order?"

Democrats have:
Johnson--Believes Guam will tip over if too many people are on one side of the island
Pelosi--Believes Bush is still president
Waters--Believes Russia invaded Korea

Trump is gonna have to work a lot harder to look more stupid than these idiots.

She's stupid in that she thinks it's somehow a problem. What does it matter what order he goes in?

Ok you just posted a video of the same quote and it didn't change the context at all. She questioned why it was first and said clearly you can't use the excuse that it was alphabetical. She didn't say he should have done it in alphabetical order.

I would agree that people are reading too much into this in this case. Trump and his administration are pretty incompetent, and probably didn't even know that. I mean, Trump did just go to Israel afterward and tell them that he "just got back from the middle east."

You don't understand why people might have an issue with Trumps first international trip being to get buddy buddy with a shit stain in the Middle East?

And you were somehow not aware until this topic of people's issues with our continuing friendliness towards this awful place?

It's not even that. I'm just not seeing an issue at all. I bashed on Obama about a lot of shit, yet I never got so petty as to make a big deal about the order he visited other nations.

I'm sorry, but we've been buddy buddy with Saudi Arabia for decades. That won't change regardless of president. Try again. Like I said, trying to find a reason to be outraged.

This is what people are upset about, yes.

Certainly people criticizing Trump's decision arent reading any more into it than this those upset by Pelosi's comments here.

I have been outraged the whole time. It is a disgusting recurrence that time doesn't make any more acceptable. If every President kicked me in the dick, I would still get pissed at Trump for being the most recent to do it. It will be fucking embarrassing even if it goes on for another 300 years. I am strong enough in my convictions to not ever grow accustomed to shitty things.
