Earlier this week, we saw a statement about how President Trump became the first president, since 2002, to not visit troops at Christmastime. NBC ran an article about how President Trump broke with tradition and didn’t visit troops, in the combat theater, during the Christmas period.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t enough that he talked with troops, and with others, on Christmas day.<\/p>\n
Then, we get the news that President Trump visited troops in Iraq. On top of that, deployed troops presented “MAGA hats” to President Trump for his autograph.<\/p>\n
So much for the earlier statement.<\/p>\n
Instead of admitting that they were wrong, or changing their narrative, they doubled down. They questioned whether or not the troops were violating policies, regarding political activism, when they requested President Trump’s autograph on their MAGA hats.<\/p>\n
From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n CNN’s criticism of Trump visiting the troops wasn’t limited to Watkins report and the network took a negative tone throughout their evening coverage.<\/p>\n CNN anchor Jim Sciutto blasted Trump for his “routine lying,” while CNN military analyst Mark Hertling criticized Trump for getting “political” during his visit. Former Obama State Department spokesman John Kirby even dinged the president for not visiting with Iraqi security forces, who are also part of the fight against ISIS.<\/p>\n Ex-Obama senior advisor David Axelrod told Sciutto that it’s “good” that Trump went to see the troops and that “we should give him credit where credit is due,” but slammed the president’s political rhetoric.<\/p>\n “It does give you the sense that this was sort of a box-checking exercise in many ways for the president. It was a serendipitous timing because it clearly was planned before everything that’s happened. And you know, yesterday was kind of an orgy of self-pity and rage on Twitter from the White House,” the CNN political commentator said. “So it changed the subject, it put him in a much better position coming with all the turmoil in the Defense Department. It’s a valuable thing but peculiar in many other ways.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, considering that they’ve turned the media information domain extremely hostile to President Trump, what did they expect him to do? Shut up and let them erroneously define him? President Trump will “fight back” and get his side of the story out effectively. He’ll do so when the opportunity presents itself to get his argument out.<\/p>\n If they want to see political activism, they need to review the free political campaigning that they do for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n You could read the article, along with tweets criticizing CNN, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n You could read NBC’s piece, with regards to President Trump’s not visiting troops at Christmastime, right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thanks to AW1Ed for the Fox News link.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
