Nancy Pelosi complains Trump not visiting countries in alphabetical order |
2017-05-26 |
![]() "I'll take 'losing her mind' for $2000, Alex" During a press briefing on Thursday, the House Minority Leader criticized the president's choice of visiting Saudi Arabia first during his inaugural foreign trip. "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." The Democrat leader contrasted Trump's visit with George W. Bush first visiting Mexico, and Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama visiting Canada first. "Which were alphabetical! I mean, Saudi Arabia!" "Our friends and neighbors," she said. "What was the decision-making process to go to Saudi Arabia first? That is a question that I have," she said. If Trump were to begin visiting foreign countries by alphabetical order, he would first visit Afghanistan, followed by Albania, Algeria, Andorra and Angola. Is Nancy Pelosi really advocating for a Sesame Street strategy to boost foreign relations? |

#8 Arabia starts with an A. Saudi just is a modifier, because the Brits took it from the Hashemite family and gave it to the House of Saud after the first world war. As I recall, the Hashemites were given Iraq and Jordan to make up for it -- and they managed to keep Jordan. |

#4 Maybe we could get the donks to resign in alphabetical order but I'd be happy with any order. |
