When a photoshopped picture of President Trump giving a medal to the hero dog who helped take out ISIS leader Baghdadi circulated, liberals lost their minds so you can imagine the meltdown when Trump actually did honor military K9 hero “Conan.” Everyone from liberal media weasels to marginally-famous entertainers are up in arms that the President of the United States held a White House ceremony to celebrate a brave American pooch because, as Rick James said, “TDS is a hell of drug.”
Fox News reports:
The dog injured during the mission that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was honored Monday afternoon during a surprise ceremony at the White House, with President Trump, Vice President Pence and First Lady Melania in attendance.
Conan, a Belgian Malinois who was named after talk show host Conan O’Brien, was hailed by Trump as a “special” animal who helped execute a “flawless attack” on the ISIS leader.
“Conan came over from the Middle East — just arrived with some of the great people from the special forces that did the — it was a flawless attack,” the president said. “And al-Baghdadi is gone. That was a flawless attack and I just met quite a few of them. And we just gave Conan a medal and a plaque.
As the president spoke, Conan stood next to Vice President Mike Pence, who petted his head.
Unleash the liberal outrage!
CNN’s Joan Walsh thought the entire thing was “terrifying.”
This is terrifying. Trump and Melania exude coldness to Conan the hero dog. Melania, whose coat is slightly macabre (to me, but others may find it lovely), moves away from Conan multiple times. 1/3 https://t.co/s9T3Y4ZYTn

Trump tells you how incredible “this particular type of dog” is, repeatedly, but he clearly can’t remember the name of the breed or other details. He tells us he really wanted the dog to be muzzled, which tells you about his fear 2/3

“Conan is a tough cookie,” we learn. Still nothing about his breed. Trump repeatedly “jokes” about siccing the dog on journalists. Also, again, his command of the language rivals (maybe) a five-year-old. Terrifying 3/3

OMG! Trump is worse than Hitler because he didn’t refer to Conan as a Belgian Malinois! The dog looks like a German Sheppard to me, or maybe a Belgian Shepard. Who the hell can remember Malinois unless they actually own one?
WaPo’s Kate Bennett thinks she may have uncovered a conspiracy with her TDS tweet:
. @realDonaldTrump talked about what a dangerous and vicious dog Conan was while @VP simultaneously petted it and put his hand near his mouth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/xCVOs9sXiV

Get it? Trump said the dog is vicious, but since Mike Pence was petting it, the President must be lying.
Here’s an alternate theory: military and police dogs are trained to attack on command and it’s possible that Conan’s handler refrained from siccing the dog on the POTUS, First Lady, and VP. They don’t actually use rabid dogs that attack everyone and everything. It’s weird that a journalist for a major newspaper doesn’t know this.
Finally there was obscure comedian Frankie Boyle being a boil on the ass of the Internet:
Two children died in this raid – they’re giving a dog a certificate. https://t.co/rpGIPGn9AV

Yeah, but it wasn’t Conan or U.S. Special Forces who killed those children. Baghdadi detonated a suicide vest, blowing up himself and his kids. It is literally the opinion of this nobody comedian that Conan doesn’t deserve to be recognized for heroism because a terrorist murdered his own children.
It’s not all that shocking that liberals are triggered by Trump honoring a hero dog, that’s what they do. Since his election the liberal formula works like this: Trump + verb + noun = liberal meltdown. Just wait until November 4, 2020 when that formula is Trump + wins + election. Then it will equal liberal implosion.
