I just had my two active duty Navy daughters over for a visit. I asked them what their peers' views of Trump were, and they said 'everyone hates him'. So. Take that for what it's worth.
Still, though. This was a smart move by his handlers to get him and his wife overseas for a visit. I'll give them credit for being savvy enough to do that.

From experience I'd guess those Sailors are logistics, supply, and other support types (like perhaps S1) posing with their kits.
