CNN Mocked Trump for Signing MAGA Hats, Obama Did Same Thing — Dead Silence

Linkedin Share

Despite taking the time to fly to the Middle East to spend Christmas with the troops, President Trump and First Lady Melania were mocked by CNN and the like.

Go figure, right?

Melania, OUR first lady, wore the wrong boots.

Donald, well, was Donald. That’s always enough to set the MSM off in and of itself.

The worst part is that CNN blasted 45 for signing MAGA hats for the troops despite there being no rule against it (more on that below).

What’s worse is that Obama signed Obama-type stuff for the troops back in the day, and the mainstream media was dead silent.

There’s a word for that.

It’s called hypocrisy.

From Daily Wire:

As noted by Joe Concha at The Hill, “The worst kind of bias is the bias of omission. And what’s missing from this report is precedent as it pertains to President Obama who, as a candidate, signed memorabilia for U.S. service members overseas in July 2008. Not a hint of criticism followed.”

SFGate reported on the Obama trip to Afghanistan at the time, though they never highlighted the signing of memorabilia by Mr. Obama.

Michelle did it, too:

CNN owes Trump a big apology.

Here’s why…

From Military:

STUTTGART, Germany — U.S. Air Forces Europe said troops holding “Make America Great Again” hats during President Donald Trump’s visit Thursday to Ramstein Air Base were not in violation of military rules that prohibit taking part in partisan activities while in uniform.

“There is no rule against Airmen bringing personal items to be signed by the president,” USAFE said in a statement.

More than 200 airmen greeted Trump on Thursday at a Ramstein Air Base aircraft hangar, where the president and first lady Melania Trump were greeted with cheers.

Trump went after CNN and the “fake news universe”…

Imagine if 45 turned the troops away. What nonsense would CNN have conjured up then?

It’s always about President Trump to the left, no matter the occasion.

Whether or not a former president’s body lays in the Capitol Rotunda means nothing.

Trump, Trump, Trump – 24/7!

From Daily Wire:

CNN repeatedly attacked President Donald Trump on Monday for putting politics aside and paying respects to former President George H.W. Bush in a segment that exemplified the network’s willingness to criticize the president for ratings and not for his actions.

CNN’s Jamie Gangel: “He’s not one to mend fences too readily. I think he’s doing this because he feels he has to do it and I’m also assuming General Kelly has had a big hand in it.

I do know from the Bush family that they are very appreciative and think the White House has just bent over backwards, gone to great lengths, been extraordinarily helpful. That said, I just can’t help but wonder if there was a thought bubble over Donald Trump’s head just know, what he was thinking as he stood there.

CNN’s Jeffrey Engel: “I have to imagine he was thinking, ‘how much longer do I have to stand here?’

Gangel: “It’s, it’s, he had to be there, he did it, um, I think it’s interesting he did it because maybe he could have waited till the National Cathedral and then he saluted. It was somewhat theatrical, uh, in nature, but it’s, I, I can’t imagine that this is very comfortable for him, these moments and I think it is going to be fascinating to watch the cathedral on Wednesday and how he interacts with these other presidents and how he sits there during these eulogies.

Engel: “I think we need to be a little bit thoughtful and careful about how we interpret what President Trump is doing here. David Gergen just mentioned we need to give him credit for not tweeting out nasty things about President Bush. I’m concerned that we shouldn’t give credit to someone for not kicking dirt on the grave of a person who just passed away.

The Associated Press “honored” former President George H.W. Bush in death the best way they knew how – by taking a liberal stance and bashing his legacy.

The disrespect is outrageous.

The worst part is how they handled Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s death.
