So let’s back up a few steps. As I mentioned, the media was having a FIELD DAY reporting that President Trump had broken with tradition by not visiting with the troops this Christmas.
They all ended up eating CROW when it was confirmed that POTUS and FLOTUS had jetted off to see our troops in IRAQ on Christmas night.
The media then decided to TAKE CREDIT FOR THE TRIP, by claiming they “shamed him” into the visit.
This is BEYOND absurd…but the absurdity of it all didn’t stop people like Soledad O’Brien from doubling down.
Dan Bongino laid out JUST HOW STUPID this all is.
Dear Libs,
Presidential trips to conflict zones are NOT scheduled days in advance. They’re scheduled weeks in advance w/advance teams on the ground up to 1-2 weeks prior. Your dopey suggestion that Trump took this Iraq trip in response to your criticisms this week is just dumb.— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) December 26, 2018
BINGO.
This is so, SO DUMB. I mean, C’MON FOLKS. YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY BE THIS DELUSIONAL.
So as good as Bongino’s slap back was… Sharyl Attkisson’s response ACTUALLY made me laugh out loud:
I just said this. That's been my experience from learning about trips made by presidents in the past. They aren't spur of the moment. They aren't planned at the last minute but they can be cancelled last minute if it's determined to unsafe. Like if snipers were shooting at us. https://t.co/PtmFEbVXla
