You’d think they would be happy that he’s well enough to return. So why are they so salty about how he made his grand entrance?
Their heads are so up their own backsides that these CNN personalities can only think of one possible explanation — that Trump is deliberately trying to destroy their carefully-crafted Trump is responsible for the dangerous, evil virus narrative.

It may be that his speedy recover has thrown a wrench in how effectively they can run with that story, but there’s a lot more to making a grand entrance than whether he gets some self-important CNN staffers’ knickers in a twist.
The dramatic entrance itself, though, absolutely IS about sending a message. But it probably isn’t the one they are so concerned about.
He did give his own twist on an FDR ‘nothing to fear but fear itself’ speech to a nation gripped in months-long fear of what the media assures us is a vicious and deadly virus.

Trump used his own experience to highlight how far we’ve come from the early days where we didn’t know how it behaved, or how best to counter it. But the entrance itself clearly served a different purpose. Or more accurately, several different purposes.
For one thing, the Stock Market freaked out when they heard about the President had tested positive for the Chinavirus.
Standing strong and tall sends a reassuring message to the markets, and everyone whose lives and livelihoods depend on them.
The same hand-wringing media presented a message to the world, wondering about national security, and who was really in charge, here.
President Trump standing strong and tall in his own balcony showing his face plainly so that nobody will speculate as to whether the mask is concealing any labored breathing, wincing in pain, or other evidence of a weakened condition.
This was a message to China, Iran, and anyone else who may be laboring under any misapprehension that the President is not up to the task of steering the ship of state.
If there was a message to the critics at home, what might it be?
Probably othing more complicated than a great big middle finger to the same sad people who count this President down and out — again and again and again.
With that background in place watch the CNN hosts narrate the video of Trump coming home. They already know how it will end, and they pepper their shock, indignation, and outrage throughout the commentary.
They sound like that spoiled kid just finding out that no, they won’t be getting that pony for Christmas.
The commentary on this is gold

The most ridiculous one was when Fredo Cuomo complained about the ‘propaganda’ of the event. As though we had all forgotten his own brush with the WuFlu, him leaving the house during his supposed ‘quarantine’ while filming a dramatic ‘reemergence’ from the basement he had never really confined himself to in the first place.

Tell us more about your outrage, Fredo.
But be sure to save some of that outrage for how your brother signed the death warrants of countless of nursing home residents.
If you have an ounce of integrity, that is.
Since you work for CNN — none of us really expects that is the case.
