The altered image shows Trump giving a canine version of the Medal of Honor to the dog wounded in the raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Wednesday shared an altered image on Twitter of himself giving what is being interpreted as a canine version of the Medal of Honor to the military dog that suffered minor wounds in the raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Belgian Malinois joined in the U.S. special operations raid on the Islamic State leader's compound near the Syria-Turkey border.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lauded the canine's"tremendous service" and said it was"still in theater." He declined to share the animal's gender or name for security reasons. Photoshop skills are not known to be part of Trump's social media repertoire. Though it's possible a president can learn new tricks, the image bears a watermark from the conservative news site The Daily Wire, which shared the image in a Tuesday tweet.
The original image appears to be an Associated Press photo of Trump giving the Medal of Honor to Vietnam veteran James McCloughan in 2017. "Please, @realDonaldTrump," read the tweet, along with the image. That tweet came a day after Trump tweeted about the classified canine, praising it for the"GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS.
Story continues"Bravo @realDailyWire meme makers," tweeted Benny Johnson, the chief creative officer for Turning Point USA. The president's post caused howls of laughter among some Twitter users, while others clearly had a bone to pick with the decision to crop out a war hero or with the quality of the Photoshop job.
What a way to treat a war hero. Also, look forward to the tick tock about how much time Trump spends asking about the dog and how much executive branch effort is being made to get the dog to the White House. pic.twitter.com/VsALBoNnuSSomewhere out there, Donald Trump Jr. is photoshopping his face over the dog’s face. https://t.
