Trump Team Goes Nuclear on ABC Anchor — Accuses Her Of ‘Nearly Fighting Back Tears’ That Nobody Else Saw
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign went nuclear on ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz, accusing her of “nearly fighting back tears” — whatever that means — that nobody else seems to have noticed.
Trump and his team were apparently watching Sunday’s edition of ABC’s This Week, because they put out a blistering statement accusing the anchor of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and accused her of an emotional reaction that nobody else seems to have seen:
“Martha Raddatz’s Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display this morning—as she nearly fought back tears, just as she did on Election Night 2016. After President Trump’s dominant and historic victories in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the Fake News is melting down, and it’s never been more obvious. Two weeks ago, President Trump secured the biggest win in Iowa caucus history. Last week, President Trump earned the most votes ever in a New Hampshire primary. Republican leaders across the country have unified behind President Trump to defeat Crooked Joe Biden and, if the election were today, President Trump would trounce Biden.
The RealClearPolitics polling average gives President Trump his largest lead ever recorded over Biden. The Fake News tantrum on full display this morning can be easily explained—at this point in the 2016 cycle, Hillary Clinton held a 2.7-point lead in the RCP average. Today, President Trump leads Crooked Joe by 4.3 points in the RCP average. While Biden is simply unable to find his way off a stage or muster the brain power to complete a full sentence, President Trump has never been stronger.
It’s never been more clear: the stronger President Trump gets, the more desperate and deranged the Fake News becomes.”

Are the tears in the room with us now, Steve?
Raddatz conducted a contentious interview with Sen. Tim Scott and did extensive reporting on Trump’s supporters — all without shedding, nearly shedding, fighting, or appearing to nearly fight any tears. Multiple outlets reported on Cheung’s statement and none could discern any sign of nearly fighting of tears or any other secretion.
