"Liberal Media Attacks Melania For Cutting Down Dead Tree!"
Gee, didn't see that coming.
Remember what I said about 'headlines'? Well...
"Some publications published misleading headlines about Mrs. Trump’s landscaping decisions, making it seem like she arbitrarily ordered the historic tree torn out".
'Misleading', like these:
“Melania Trump orders removal of the near-200-year-old tree from the White House.”
“Melania Trump orders much of a large magnolia tree planted in 1835 to be cut down.” They even got the date wrong, it was 1832.
“Exclusive: Iconic White House tree to be cut down.” Exclusive! No less.
Even Britain’s The Independent jumped on, writing: “Melania Trump orders White House tree from 1800s to be cut down.”
What really 'pisses on my cornflakes' is that people will see these headlines and draw conclusions based solely on the impression they get from them. That's how these stupid stories gain 'traction'.

They should give the wood to a craftsman have some trinkets made for Trump supporters, I'd buy one.
