Having long forgotten all those Christmas Eve pieces about how President Trump was blowing off the military this year, we’re now getting confirmation that Mr. and Mrs. Trump made another stop, this one at Ramstein Air Base.

As Twitchy has reported, some soldiers in Iraq might have broken politicking in uniform regulations by having the visiting president sign their MAGA hats, and CNN is on it:
Video footage and the written report of Trump's visit with service members in Iraq showed signing of hats and a "Trump 2020" patch.
But troops' requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities. https://t.co/jUUqF91bcX

There might be more trouble in Germany as some stationed there were photographed holding their MAGA hats, and even a Trump flag, in anticipation of the president’s visit.

Bloomberg’s Jennifer Epstein also caught a Trump flag on camera:

Seriously, this is strictly forbidden under military rules. Politicking not permitted. https://t.co/xRgaAbDUqw

Hey Barrister Brad, why don’t you go over and explain to these USN SEALs they’re in violation of DoD guidelines. ?? @jeneps pic.twitter.com/1chcc5DcEO

Getting an autograph from the President is not politicking. Grow up, and stop being so pedantic.

They are not showing support for a candidate, they are showing support for their President, for God’s sake#TrumpDerangementSyndrome is sad but true

Its not politicking, its greeting the Commander and Chief.

There is no law against her holding that flag. She was not in duty at that moment.

Go over there and tell these brave men and women that they are not doing it properly in your opinion. Or maybe grow up and allow these men and women who protect our freedom a little happiness while serving.

How fun, the press is now going to unleash Twitter trolls on a soldier to punish wrong think.

Tomorrow, Mueller will likely add this “incident” to his list of potential campaign violations… should guarantee him six more months of special prosecutor pay..— Ike ?? (@ike_salado_tx) December 27, 2018
They’re deployed. They’re overworked. And negative press attention can really damage their careers. This is a minor sin, if that. Let’s leave those nice people alone. https://t.co/yoHKfmtzVZ

Read the awful people replying to the original tweet. They are so full of hatred over what was likely an innocent (and small) mistake that they’re demanding blood.
Know precisely zero about her, but want her ruined. Twitter is terrible.
— John Noonan (@noonanjo) December 27, 2018
Yes, it is terrible:
This is troubling. To bring a Trump glad instead of an American one? That’s how dictators rise.

Disturbing.

Can they see her name on her uniform and reprimand her? This is absolutely out of line!

Can someone zoom in far enough? This is important.
Too dumb to serve!
