Media Points Out Soldiers May Have Broken Rules By Asking Trump To Sign MAGA Gear. Didn’t Same Situation Happen With Obama?
In the video below, Obama can be seen talking to military members, playing basketball, and signing autographs. It is unclear what kind of memorabilia Obama was signing, but there was debate at the time as to whether or not Obama’s visit constituted a campaign event.
Obama’s visit to Kuwait was a part of a Middle East trip intended on bolstering his foreign policy understanding prior to the 2008 election. He was accompanied on the trip by Republican Sen. Charles Hagel of Nebraska and Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, CNN reported at that time. Obama also visited Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and Britain, according to Reuters.
An article in The Washington Post from July 19, 2008 included a quote from Obama senior adviser Robert Gibbs asserting that Obama’s visit was “not a campaign trip.” However, the article also pointed out that “McCain advisers scoff at the notion that this is not campaign-related.”
