As the New York Times was bashing Mike Pompeo for being missing in action while President Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal, it turned out the secretary of state was busy rescuing three Americans who have been held captive in North Korea.
In an apparent jab at the administration, The Times’ headline said, “At a Key Moment, Trump’s Top Diplomat Is Again Thousands of Miles Away.”
The Times’ story noted that “Senior State Department officials were momentarily speechless on Tuesday when asked why Mr. Pompeo did not delay his trip by a day to be in Washington during Mr. Trump’s Iran deal announcement.”
It became clear on Wednesday morning why Pompeo didn’t delay his trip to Pyongyang when Trump took to Twitter.
“I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health,” Trump wrote. “Secretary Pompeo and his ‘guests’ will be landing at Andrews Air Force Base at 2:00 A.M. in the morning. I will be there to greet them. Very exciting!”
The Times story noted that Pompeo was expected to return from his trip with the detainees in the caption of a photo accompanying the story, so it's curious why the headline attempted to paint his trip in a negative light.
The New York Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The story, written by Gardiner Harris, focused on Trump’s top diplomat being absent when Trump “made what could be the most significant diplomatic announcement of his presidency” by pulling out of the Iran nuclear agreement.

They were too busy cleaning the egg off their faces...................
News about LSM news falls into a category of Fake
News (once removed).
Another blooming idiot at the New York Times.
What's curious about it? They hate Trump & will make up any crap to try to get him & anyone close to him. Nothing curious about that.
As they keep losing, they say and do even stupider things.
Digging the MSM hole deeper by ten-minute increments. Losers to the end.
Fail.
We are witnessing the self-destruction of the MSM. They have gone all in to try and salvage themselves and the RAT Party, and they are failing. And the more they see that they are failing, the more outrageous their behavior and pronouncements become. But I hope that they keep it up, full-steam, because even the stupidest citizen is beginning to realize what the real truth is thanks to their “efforts!”
Dumbass Times! Iran has every intention of destroying the historical homeland of a significant number of your readers. Destroy us as well if they get a chance. Trump is the only work leader really trying to stop that.
I’m still not tired of winning.
The New York Times has egg on their face... once again. Dreadful people.
PULL their CREDS!!!
They do not understand Trump....once he made his decision Pompeo was needed elsewhere ... get a clue he does not run forein policy according to the New York times
Gardiner Harris...isn’t he better known as Chance the Gardener...
Wile E. Coyote is the new editor at the Times. It looks like Wile E. didn’t have a good first day. Beep beep!
Gee we have an administration of leaders that are capable of ... multitasking
Unlike dumass obama and biden always joined at the hip for photo ops
When are we going to get an expose on where obama ( and hillary) were when Benghazi was going down?
