President Trump and Japan Prime Minister Abe carried on a tradition of feeding carp at a Koi pond in Tokyo when CNN and the mainstream media decided to twist the narrative to make Trump appear like a buffoon.
CNN ran the headline, “Trump feeds fish, winds up pouring entire box of food into Koi pond,” with a misleading tweet from reporter Veronica Rocha only showing Trump dumping the entire box of food. Her footage is conveniently edited to skip Abe doing the same thing.
Abe dumped his entire box into the pond and Trump followed while the Prime Minister smiled. The anti-Trump media has been cropping the video to only show Trump’s actions.
Bloomberg's Justin Sink tweeted that Trump and Abe were “spooning fish food into the pond” when Trump “decided to just dump the whole box in for the fish.” The problem with the attempt to paint Trump as animal-abusing is that Japan's Prime Minister did the exact same thing seconds before.
BuzzFeed News ran a story headlined, “This photo of Trump dumping his carp food in a pond in japan has become a huge meme,” and embedded a series of Japanese tweets mocking the president. The Guardian even ran a story about the dangers of overfeeding fish.
“Reporters, keen to pick up on a Trump gaffe, captured the moment when he upended his box tweeting evidence of his questionable grasp of fish keeping,” The Guardian wrote. “Some speculated that a poor palace employee would be dispatched to the scene to clean up the mess.”
One Twitter user wrote, “Abe is basically watching in polite rage-horror as the epic orange buffoon tries to kill his fish,” while the New York Daily News said, “The former New York City real estate tycoon got a little heavy handed while feeding koi."

Impeach!
God willing, The Fake News chickens will come home to roost!
Trump is anti-koi.
Tom Steyer will add it to the list of reasons we can’t wait to remove a dangerous President from office.
Trump is a heartless buffoon.
He ought to choose two real journalists to go on these trips, if he can find that many. Leave the liars at home.
Trump breathes wrong ping
Our small minded cousins are all panty twisted by it: https://upload.democraticunderground.com/10141906948
When caught and confronted, I’m sure the same crap weasel media will claim an editing “glitch.
Which will be another lie.
That’s all they have...their fantasies and faked “news”. Sucks to be them.
And the author of this story was Michael Moore.
I saw it happen in Real Time - the Japanese PM dumped HIS box of fish food in first, and President Trump followed suit for the laugh.
It’s un-f#cking-REAL what these posers in our Enemy Media will try to get away with!
MSM headline "Trump can't swim!"
no koi were harmed in the making of this fake news cycle
Wait...what?
You’re killing me here. LOL
Good grief, next thing Cnn will be reporting is Trump likes 2 scoops of ice-cream when everyone else only had one. ......oh wait.
This was fun to follow yesterday. I spent some time on twitter, found someone post a video at a site called AFPP, then used my web inspector to find the video hosted at brightcove.com and was able to download it using an application called 5K Player on my Mac. I have the whole video here for proof anytime this comes in the future. I’m glad all the debunking worked well to get this lie uncovered for the stupid lefties trying to push it. I made it really clear on Twitter and Facebook that the goons were creating fake news again.
Wow, these DUmmies are dumbasses.
