After Fake News Reports, Media Now Claim Trump’s Christmas Visit to U.S. Troops Was Obvious
Breitbart ^ | 12/26/2017 | joel pollak

Posted on 12/26/2018 7:41:10 PM PST by bitt

On Wednesday morning, media outlets were running the story that President Donald Trump had failed to visit U.S. troops at Christmastime. By Wednesday afternoon, the media claimed Trump had made his visit to a war zone obvious in advance.

In between, media outlets that had earlier trumpeted Trump’s supposed non-visit to the troops were spinning the news that he had, in fact, visited by noting that it was his first visit to a war zone since taking office.

Left-wing Salon.com, for example, reported initially that Trump had failed to visit the troops during Christmastime, then changed its story and headline, but retained the anti-Trump spin.

“Now the media say Trump clumsily gave away the fact that he was going to a war zone. This mere hours after numerous outlets ran stories claiming he failed to visit. When he makes them look like fools, they declare him stupid and incompetent.”

Thank God that President Trump and his advance people were able to keep this trip a secret. I worry that someone opposing him would not be above leaking if they had known which would put the life of our President at great risk.

Pray for the safety of President Trump.

Scroll down, turn on the volume, and listen to our troops welcoming President Trump and Melania and chanting USA, USA despite the RAT and MSM lies and all-around crapola. The American people are beyond disgusted with the 24/7 anti-Trump propaganda and BS. I know I sure am!!

You know, I used to think that all this disgraceful behavior on the part of the media and the RATs apart from being a shame, was taking its toll on President Trump. But its gotten to such a ridiculous level that I now imagine if it ever was a concern for the President, he's way past the point where it matters at all. Just business as usual! My only hope is that the public is catching on to all of it!

CNN is currently trying to smear the service members who asked President Trump to sign their MAGA hats and other things.

"So we’ve moved from the “Trump hates the troops because he didn’t visit them on Christmas” part of the news cycle to “let’s ruin that one service-member’s career because she was holding a Trump flag,” do I have this right?"

Our Deplorable president is damned if he doesn’t or doesn’t do something.
The biased left just get rid themselves of their TDS. They wear it on their sleeves as their badge of dishonor to America.

What the bastards are trying to do is to separate President Trump from his base.Lie, lie, lie is all they do. Between now and 2020 this is going to get much worse and very nasty. Hang in there and don’t forget it is us that they are really after, President Trump is standing in their way. To get to us they have to remove him. Their goals are: 1. Get rid of President Trump. 2. Get rid of us. 3. Install Hillary in the White House. They had it planned to be done “legally”, rigged election with Jeb Busch as the designated loser. However Donald Trump and us threw a monkey wrench in their plans. And they haven’t forgotten it.

I really never thought I’d ever see this day come, but here we are with nearly open rebellion by the Left. They’ve shredded any notion that they have a scintilla of respect for our Constitution. I guess at this juncture all we can do is pray for the safety of President Trump, because I am quite certain that there are any number who would, given the chance, take his life, even if it meant loosing their own in the process.

You “caught on,” didn’t you?

If you did and I did, I’ll bet many others have or very soon will.

Mockingbird has redefined good and evil as purely relative to President Trump rather than any objective standard. Whatever comes from Trump or supports Trump is "bad", whatever opposes Trump is "good".

This actually makes perfect sense when you understand our Mockingbird MSM is primarily a propaganda tool for the corrupt permanent state and has been thus longer than most of us have been on Earth. President Trump is by far the most serious existential threat the permanent state has ever faced, therefore it's not surprising that said permanent state expresses itself towards President Trump via Mockingbird in much the same manner as the pod people in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" react to a non-pod person.

If it was that obvious, why were they condemning him even as he was making the trip? Maybe they were just helping keep the secret??????
