CNN has now scraped the bottom of the barrel its search to find anything negative to write about the president.
When the day started CNN was predicting that the stock market would become a bear market and the Doq Jones would plummet more.
Instead it had the greatest gain in its history.
And the media went silent.
Then the media reported that President trump did not visit troops on Christmas.
Then it was reported that he had visited troops in Iraq and there was video proof.
And the media went silent.
And now with no more negative stories to write CNN stretched to the limits to find something, anything to get him on.
And this is the gem they have.
President Donald Trump made his first visit to a war zone on Wednesday, receiving an enthusiastic reception from many US troops there — some of whom may have run afoul of military rules.
Video footage and the written report of Trump’s visit with service members in Iraq showed the President signing “Make America Great Again” hats and an embroidered patch that read “Trump 2020.”
But troops’ requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities.
Those guidelines say that “active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval, or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign, or cause.”
Wow.
That is Trump Derangement Syndrome in its purest form.
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said it best.
“When you’ve run out of dumb anti-Trump stories to write this happens,” he wrote.
