On Thursday, President Trump spoke in Poland, where he laid forth his plans for NATO Article 5 common defense. He said that the United States, quote, has demonstrated not merely with words but with actions, that we stand firmly behind Article 5. Our defense is not just a commitment of money, it is a commitment of will. Trump went on to explain, quote, our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield. It begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls. He even warned the Russian government directly. Quote, we urge Russia

to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere. Trump also stated his support for

missile defense in Poland against Russia. This should have been a ringing rebuke to the American

media who have declared Trump a Putin-Shill for nearly a year.

Instead, the media decided to focus on the fact that Trump received warm praise from the Polish people.

CNN's actual headline, this is the real headline, quote, Trump showered in Polish praise back to NATO's Article 5.

It's difficult to recall CNN running a similar headline during President Obama's magical mystery European tours.

The media also went nuts over Trump ripping CNN while overseas.

NBC's Chuck Todd tweeted, quote,

"...a trashing of the American press corps and intel community in Eastern Europe of all places?

Could Putin have asked for anything more?

Well, yes, Putin could have asked for more.

He could have asked for a president who wanted to give him flexibility and withdrew from missile defense in Eastern Europe and handed Syria over to Vladimir Putin.

He could have asked for that and actually gotten it.

It's not pleasant that President Trump attacks the media while he's overseas.

It's unprecedented, but I mean, this is Donald Trump. So is that any giant shock?

But the media's willingness to ignore the real story in Poland that Trump forcefully chided

his supposed conspirators in election hacking.

That he's talking about setting up a missile defense system to defend against them, that he

went after their aggression in Ukraine and Syria.

That's the real story.

That he took material steps to check those territorial ambitions.
