The Independent: Donald Trump ‘too afraid’ to visit troops in combat zones, report says

Mr Trump says no other president is 'more with the military' than he is

Donald Trump is reportedly too “afraid” to visit American troops in combat zones.

The comment was made in private to aides after several news outlets began questioning why the president had not made time to visit soldiers as previous presidents have done in Afghanistan, where the US is still at war, and Iraq.

An unnamed official told the Washington Post: “He’s never been interested in going. He’s afraid of those situations. He’s afraid people want to kill him.”
