Donald Trump just used one of his classic surprise attacks the media, and it has CNN furious.
During what was supposed to be a press conference dedicated to Barack Obama and his place of birth, Trump instead used the platform to demonstrate to the world the toughness and vision of America's future.
Numerous generals and admirals took the stage with Trump, along with two Medal of Honor recipients who pledged their support to Trump and remonstrated Barack Obama.
One of my personal favorite American heroes, Mike Thornton, said that "we cannot stand four more years of leadership like (Barack Obama's), we need someone who is going to lead from the front like Donald Trump."
Thornton knows a thing or two about leadership. On October 31, 1972, he and his fellow Navy SEAL Tom Norris were engaged in a rescue mission of a downed American pilot in North Vietnamese territory. It was late at night just along the oceans edge when a group of 300 Vietnamese troops tried to overrun their position. According to the details from Thornton's Medal of Honor transcript, he did the unthinkable after Norris had been seriously injured during the firefight.
Upon learning that the Senior Advisor had been hit by enemy fire and was was believed to be dead, PO Thornton returned through a hail of fire to the lieutenant's last position; quickly disposed of 2 enemy soldiers about to overrun the position, and succeeded in removing the seriously wounded and unconscious Senior Naval Advisor to the water's edge. He then inflated the lieutenant's lifejacket and towed him seaward for approximately 2 hours until picked up by support craft.
Barack Obama and CNN thought they finally had Trump just where they wanted him, begging for forgiveness and publicly shaming himself. Instead, the American people heard for 20 short minutes the pride that many of Clinton's "deplorable" Americans have for their country.
Maybe Clinton will think twice next time before calling people like Mike Thornton "deplorable."
Bazinga!
Big time
The media is pissed. I love how Trump treats the media with exactly as much respect as they deserve.
I did not know about Mike Thornton until now. Good article. Thanks for posting it.

Goodness can be cleaver!
Truth, Beauty, Goodness, The American Way!
GO TRUMP!
God Bless him for doing this on our behalf.
Its tremendous really.
Was this today?
I hope Trump has the best security ever, including physical protection. You never know what those unhinged in media and progressive camp will unleash next.
One thing they absolutely hate is to be played like what Trump just did, and exposed to be the snotty imbeciles that they truly are.
Shrillarity’s cabal had worked up a media ambush combined with Hillary’s speech to black women and also the presser by the Congressional Black Caucus. They were all going to hammer Trump from many angles on alleged “racism” and the “birther” issue today.
Instead, Trump torched their script and turned the whole thing into another fiasco for the Hillary campaign.
My sides hurt from laughing at this all day....
I love how several of these honoured men stated they were among the deplorables.
Along with all the news media, we were awaiting the statement of Donald J. Trump, when 6 or more terrific military Americans kept speaking and introducing the next one. Trump kept politely waiting his turn, of course enjoying his well deserved praise. When his turn finally came, the speech was immensely short. And that was it!!
Essentially, this is what Trump did to these fools this morning.
Why was Trump supposed to beg for forgiveness? I admit to being a little lost on this.
POW’s aren’t heroes???
My sides hurt too. A few more days like this and I will be losing weight.
Translation: Trump punks MSM Hillary pimps and pimpettes ... but they are sooooooo smart!
I hope Trump can make that right.
LMAO! That is beautiful!
The press got a long overdue schlonging.
