Disagree
If she doesn't go, it's really weak
Imagine if this happened with Paul Ryan/Trump in 2017.
The left would be going absolutely ape shit.

If we need to send an 80+ senile old woman to flex our muscle, we’re already weak.

"Trump's trying to get us into World War III!!!!!!"
The truth is, this is incredibly stupid.
If you are going to tell the Chinese your travel schedule you deserve the shit.
Just go do what you want to do. Did Bush tell the Iraqi's he was headed to the danger zone when he visited the troops? Just fucking go.
We go where we want to go as politicians/Americans. Do I think stretch needs to go to Taiwan? No. But if she wants to go, fucking go without telling the world. She was asking for it. If her itinerary was leaked, pick another time and just go.
Its fucking stupid to make a trip to Taiwan an international incident.
