You are correct. Someone actually said on Twitter that Trump had a successful trip so something was bound to drop. Every. Single. Time.
I suspect some of these stories are promoted by the Trump people ... to capture public and media attention while controversial items are addressed in Washington with very little scrutiny.
For example ... the Senate confirmation hearing for Trump's new FBI director hardly got any notice at all the other day when this "Donald Trump Jr. bombshell" was all over the news. After all the drama with his predecessor James Comey, you'd think that should have been the subject of wall-to-wall media coverage. LOL.
