Anti-Trumpers Mocked POTUS for Not Being Able to Visit WWI Memorial. New Docs Prove Trump Right.
The fake news media is proven wrong, as usual.
When President Donald J. Trump was unable to attend a WWI memorial even in France in November due to weather, he was widely ridiculed by detractors, many of whom suggested he was lying. But new documents obtained by BuzzFeed’s Jason Leopold via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request proves that the detractors were wrong – again.
“Wx will not support today’s flight,” said one of the documents obtained from the U.S. Navy, which is responsible for coordinating Trump’s travel on Marine One, the presidential helicopter.
“Wx” stands for weather.
Trump noted at the time that weather wouldn’t permit his visit.
“By the way, when the helicopter couldn’t fly to the first cemetery in France because of almost zero visibility, I suggested driving. Secret Service said NO, too far from airport & big Paris shutdown. Speech next day at American Cemetery in pouring rain! Little reported-Fake News!” Trump said on Twitter at the time.

Still, many armchair critics didn’t believe Trump.
“I helped plan all of President Obama’s trips for 8 years,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security advisor. “There was always a rain option. Always.”
“Two words: contingency plans. Previous White Houses made them,” said formerly-relevant GOP establishment commentator David Frum.
“Remember when Trump chose not to go to a Military ceremony because of rain in Paris,” said David Weissman, who was pumping up 2020 presidential candidate – polling at 0 percent – and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) for giving her announcement speech in the snow.
Trump was also ridiculed in the leftist media. The Washington Post, for example, said the following:
It was not completely clear why the Trumps were unable to attend. The cemetery is 50 miles from Paris. Perhaps the president was planning to travel on Marine One, which is occasionally grounded by the military.
But the sight of dignitaries arriving at other sites outside Paris, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, led some foreign policy analysts to speculate the U.S. commander in chief just wasn’t up for it.
The Atlantic, Frum’s new employer, attacked Trump too.
Once again, media types and political figures attacked Trump for something petty, and once again, they were proven wrong.

Democrats’ Expert on Misinformation is CNN Hack Soledad O’Brien Who Has Pushed Fake News Incessantly for Years
The Democrats are shamelessly Orwellian.
CNN propagandist Soledad O’Brien appeared before Congress on Wednesday as the Democrats’ expert on combating “misinformation.”
During the hearing, she called for her competitors to be censored and for alternative perspectives from the globalist-mandated consensus to be crushed.
“When news organizations make decisions based on ratings rather than responsible reporting, disinformation flourishes in dangerous ways,” O’Brien said while appearing before Congress.
“Cover the fact that lies and propaganda are being disseminated, but do not book people to lie on your show, because it elevates them and presents a lie as another side. Stop posing every story as having two sides, some stories, in fact, have many many sides, and are more complicated. And also, lies don’t have a side,’ she added, describing her vision for how news should be covered.
However, if O’Brien’s advice were taken by newsrooms, she would never be allowed on anymore due to her record of spreading reckless conspiracy theories about Trump being a Russian asset and other nonsense.
News aggregator @amuse posted some of O’Brien’s greatest hits on the fake news leader over the past few years:

Big League Politics has reported on other times in which O’Brien humiliated herself by posting falsehoods:
As usual, members of our esteemed media were caught lying on Wednesday, this time about the motivations for President Donald J. Trump’s visit to Iraq to visit troops.
Much ado was made when Trump did not visit Iraq on Christmas Day. NBC said that he was the first president not to visit the troops as Christmastime, only to correct themselves after Trump left for Iraq late Tuesday night. This led leftists conclude that the media had “shamed” Trump into visiting our fine soldiers.
“Shaming him seems to work,” CNN’s Soledad O’Brien said in reply to a Tweet by Brit Hume.
Hume had noted that by the time left-wing actress had blasted Trump for not visiting the troops, he had already visited them. Hume blasted O’Brien for her apparent lack of understanding of the concept of time.
“Yes Ma’am,” he said. “Trump read this Tweet when it was posted and time-traveled himself back to yesterday and flew to Iraq. Genius take.”
… What was wrong was the assumption that Trump had to be “shamed” to visiting the war zone. Embarrassingly, these leftists were proved wrong by leftist POLITICO.
“According to a White House official, the Trump administration had been planning the trip for more than six weeks,” said a Wednesday POLITICO piece.
Of course, the piece chided Trump for not being able to keep his trip a secret, citing two of Trump’s remarks about a potential trip to a war zone.
The Democrats are shameless in pushing their Orwellian agenda. They are at war with objective reality and will stoop to unfathomable depths to achieve absolute power.
