Conan the Dog as tweeted by President Trump
The left doesn’t seem to be able to lay down the Trump Derangement Syndrome for even a minute.
On Monday at the White House, President Donald Trump honored Conan the hero Special Forces dog who helped take down ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi during a raid.
One would think that’s a non-controversial event that should bring everyone together, celebrating the hero dog and the successful killing of one of America’s most wanted enemies.
But apparently not for some.
Here’s Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle.
Two children died in this raid – they're giving a dog a certificate. https://t.co/rpGIPGn9AV

Wait, what? Is he serious? You’re attacking the hero dog? Baghdadi blew up his own children with the explosive vest. The dog helped save the lives of other members of the Special Forces and get the terrorist leader.
Then here’s the Washington Post’s take on the event:
Of course the Washington Post would spin this story to be anti-Trump https://t.co/GWX8VBy4dY pic.twitter.com/SjagqSqIkN

Yet all they do is report lies about Trump for attention.

Pretty much.
Um, WaPo? It’s about the dog. So what if Trump gets attention? He ordered the raid. The event deserves attention, again, unless you have TDS.
Finally, there was Joan Walsh, a CNN political contributor and author of “What’s the Matter With White People.”
Her take was pretty bad. She found the event “terrifying.” Huh?
This is terrifying. Trump and Melania exude coldness to Conan the hero dog. Melania, whose coat is slightly macabre (to me, but others may find it lovely), moves away from Conan multiple times. 1/3 https://t.co/s9T3Y4ZYTn

Trump tells you how incredible “this particular type of dog” is, repeatedly, but he clearly can’t remember the name of the breed or other details. He tells us he really wanted the dog to be muzzled, which tells you about his fear 2/3

“Conan is a tough cookie,” we learn. Still nothing about his breed. Trump repeatedly “jokes” about siccing the dog on journalists. Also, again, his command of the language rivals (maybe) a five-year-old. Terrifying 3/3

Very Cruella De Vil, but with flowers?

First, Conan is not a cuddly pet, he’s trained to take out terrorists. Yes, Trump was joking about the dog being dangerous to journalists, but there’s a measure of truth to the fact that you don’t treat a dog like Conan like a fluffy toy, hence the handler being there. Second, Melania wasn’t “cold” to the dog, she was moving out of the way to provide space so that Vice President Mike Pence, Conan, and the handler could fit in between her and the president for the shots by the media.
Terrifying would be charging into a terrorists stronghold not knowing if you're going to get blown up or shot while a bomb goes off down a tunnel where your furry best friend just went.
What you're experiencing is called derangement. https://t.co/TOJKgaDv5Y

these people have totally lost touch with reality

Hell, Mark, they kept the dog who was with Seal Team Six muzzled in an adjacent room when ST6 was honored by Obama. https://t.co/Wsxt1OWhmY pic.twitter.com/LF5rFzjojT

Guess all they’re left with is hot takes, given how impeachment has blown up on them.
