Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump welcomed El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to the White House. It was a pleasant meeting, but one that led to a media sparring session as CNN and others are obsessed with re-importing this illegal alien the Trump administration deported to El Salvador.
Bukele gave an emphatic ‘hell no,’ we’re not releasing him, calling the question preposterous. The court doesn’t have the authority to dictate foreign policy terms to the executive, and this matter is veering into micromanagement of international relations. Yet, Trump accused CNN of hating America.
It was likely troll bait, but the network took it hook, line, and sinker:
Dana Bash: CNN does not hate our country. That goes without saying.

Dana Bash responds to Trump’s Oval Office CNN comments with solemn on-air statement:

Is this the first time a “news” network had to try to explain to its viewers that it doesn’t hate the country? Remarkable. pic.twitter.com/dIHEPg9jZJ
Then again, while the network is anti-Trump, it’s also anti-American. Here are the receipts:

'Western Lensman' wondered if this was the first time a 'news' network had to try to explain to its viewers that it doesn’t hate the country? Once again, we're reminded why the media is mocked and distrusted.
