The folks at CNN are having a meltdown over President Trump's surprise visit to troops in Iraq on Tuesday.
Primetime host Don Lemon, a regular Trump critic, is accusing the Commander-in-Chief of being "the Grinch." A CNN national security analyst agrees and said on his show last night the President "stole Christmas," by politicizing his message.
So CNN is now labeling Trump as "the Grinch" who stole Christmas from the troops in Iraq.

Want to know why people hate the media? This tweet received thousands of RTs and the article was shared by just about every prominent liberal.

However, Trump left for Iraq on Christmas night to visit troops.
Will they apologize for their story? https://t.co/nXGwnnRBfQ
And then things got even worse: they started criticizing troops stationed overseas for daring to support Trump.
Video footage and the written report of Trump's visit with service members in Iraq showed signing of hats and a "Trump 2020" patch.

But troops' requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities. https://t.co/jUUqF91bcX
