The Internet is going crazy because President Trump didnt wave goodbye to a group of reporters as he boarded Air Force One Thursday.
In what was his first flight since being inaugurated, the president left Joint Base Andrews for Philadelphia because he was scheduled to address the 2017 GOP retreat.
However, he angered many in the media when he didnt do what they thought was a time-honored tradition turn and wave goodbye after he climbed the stairs to Air Force One.
When Trump landed in Philadelphia 20 minutes later, he gave a thumbs up and a wave as he descended.

This criticism is stupid and childish. The fake news media is dying by self inflicted shots right before our eyes.
“Hand wave has very basic purpose that makes us social by exhibiting disarmed and friendly state. By holding open palms with stretched fingers visible to others silently conveys “Feel safe from me! I’m not holding any arm or weapon”.”
LOL, so Trump was telling the press they have NO reason too feel safe from him.
Let them hyperventilate over this for a few news cycles while he continues to MAGA right under their butt hurt noses! He plays them like Paganini played the violin.
Whaaaaa! Daddy didn’t wave at us on his way to work.
He saved the taxpayers a few dollars of fuel by not wasting time waving.
They’re lucky he didn’t flip them off.
They are stupider than I imagined if they think “the wave” is about or for THEM. The wave is mugging for the camera, it is campaigning and done for the benefit of the waver-in-chief, not out of love for the press.
He understands that it isn’t manly to act the “beauty queen” with some goofy-ass wave. They then complain that when he landed, he gave a “stern salute” - whatta despot!
Fake CNNews is outraged that Trump ________!
OMG......what, are they 2 yrs old? DJT is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.....gonna be like this the next 4 yrs [8 yrs].....smh
Who, exactly is this guy "The Internet" that I am always hearing about anyway?
He invited some of them to ride with him on the plane, didn’t he?
I love that Trump is putting the press in its place. He needs to remind them their job is to report what is happening, not be what is happening. The press has had too much influence on who, what, when and where. They shouldn’t be steering the ship like they have been.
I’ll count this as another win.
They haven't figured out yet that President Trump is not going to be your "traditional" President.
They're not too bright...
Yeah this is a weird one but a liberal in the city mentioned it to me. They also complained Trump didn’t take his wife in his first trip on the airplane. Oy.
“People” aren’t angry about him ignoring the press, the “press” have their nickers in a knot because Trump continues to humiliate them.
Their just desserts.
Bwahahaha
Reading about this last night sent me to bed laughing.
I don’t wave to the enemy either.
I’m confused. Is it “people” who are angry, or is it the media who got their panties in a wad? Sounds to me like the latter. Sounds like the media felt slighted, took to social media to drum up a tempest over it. Basically, they’re creating their own “news.”
Get over yourselves, snowflakes. In the overall grand scheme of things, time to grow up and realize it’s not all about you, despite the row of participation trophies on the shelf behind your desk.
