The mainstream media went into meltdown over Donald Trump feeding some fish in Japan. Let that sink in.
The farce began when Trump was seen on camera with Japanese Prime Minister Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spooning fish food out of a box to feed koi carp in the Akasaka palace in Tokyo.
Trump then empties the remainder of the box into the pond below, an action that set off a firestorm of triggered leftists who spread the fake news that his action was uncivilized and ignorant – despite Abe doing the very same thing seconds before.
As this video shows, Trump was merely mimicking the actions of his host.

By omitting the clip of Abe emptying his box first, verified liberals on Twitter, as well as big media outlets, went on a narrative rampage, insinuating that Trump had insulted his Japanese hosts.
CNN even appeared to deliberately edit their video of the scene to cut out Abe also emptying his box.
