Various news outlets showed what appeared to be an impatient Trump just dumping a box of food in the Koi pond rather than spooning out smaller amounts. The problem is that Trump did use the spoon on the fish and Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had dumped the box out before Trump . . . but only Trump was shown doing so.
This is CNN:
Trump joined his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe in feeding fish, emptying the whole box of food into a koi pond http://cnn.it/2yzmRN8
CNN entitled the segment “Trump feeds fish, winds up pouring entire box of food into Koi pond.” It never showed Trump using the spoon and then following Abe in emptying the box after Abe.
Other reporters did the same. Bloomberg White House correspondent Justin Sink tweeted that Trump and Abe were “spooning fish food into the pond” when Trump “decided to just dump the whole box in for the fish.”
