    WTF? Why is this evil naked European model going to have this historic and beautiful tree cut down??? What a bitch! That's the reaction Newsweek wants I guess. This isn't a big story but it's a good example of the constant drumbeat of fake news by the media in it's war on all things Trump.

    "Melania Trump orders removal of the near-200-year-old tree from the White House,” Newsweek tweeted from its verified Twitter account. The same text is used as the headline for the story, which is essentially fake news and paints Melania Trump as a tree-hating villain.

    The First Lady did order the historic tree to be removed, but only after specialists determined that it needed to be removed. The tree has long been supported by poles and wires and posed a hazard for anyone standing near it."

    Perhaps Newsweek, unlike Breitbart and Fox think their readers have an attention span long enough to get past the headline. She was not mocked in any way, shape or form and in fact lauded for demanding that the wood be preserved.
    The only fake news is the claim this is fake news. But then you got it from Fox, no surprise there.

    After getting lambasted for this Newsweek changed it's story but not it's headline. They know that many people don't read past the headline though so they still accomplish their mission.

    "Newsweek has updated the body of its story but the misleading headline remains. The story now cites a report that reveals the truth about the tree that could tumble at any moment."

    please spare us

    below is the headline
    Melania Trump Orders Removal of Near-200-Year-Old Tree From White House

    That is the headline which is being propagated and will get the reaction that the left desires.

    That's over in CE.

    Mrs. Trump is clearly a sycamorepath who enjoys committing moss murder.
