Creepy: CNN acts like a stalker, hides in bushes to record Trump playing golf — Video

How creepy is this?  On Tuesday, CNN — the cable outlet seen by many as the least-trusted name in network news — aired footage of President Trump playing golf.  That, in itself, really isn’t a big deal, until one takes into consideration that the cameraman appears to have been taking the footage while hiding behind foliage — almost like a stalker.

The short video was tweeted by CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju, with the caption: “Trump on the golf course today, captured by CNN cameras.”

One person responded: “Nothing creepy here dude. Just CNN in a bush.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

According to The Hill:

CNN cameras spotted President Trump on the golf course Tuesday at his property in West Palm Beach, Fla.

The president, an avid golfer, played at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach with Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), PGA tour player Bryson DeChambeau and former pro golfer Dana Quigley, according to the White House.

Trump, who is staying at his Mar-a-Lago resort, is scheduled to remain in Florida through New Year’s Day.

On Monday, Trump had tweeted that he would be getting “back to work” after Christmas.

“I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!” he tweeted Christmas night.

The Hill report never mentioned the creepy, stalker-like aspect of CNN recording the president from behind a bush.

The snark continued on social media:

It certainly does appear rather creepy to us.

There is one question that needs to be answered, however:  Where was the Secret Service?  If CNN can sneak onto a golf course and surreptitiously record the president, who else might be able to do the same?

This, by the way, is CNN…
