The online interaction happened after the media criticized the president for failing to visit U.S. troops during Christmas - a day later it was revealed that he had indeed done so.
Hume was responding to a tweet from Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano criticizing the president by claiming, "Trump becomes first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime."
"By the time this was posted," Hume responded, "the President and Mrs. Trump were in Iraq with the troops."
By the time this was posted, the President and Mrs. Trump were in Iraq with the troops.

O'Brien replied, "Shaming him seems to work," implying that the president had visited the troops after facing online criticism like the tweet from Milano.
"Genius take..."
Hume mocked the suggestion in a second tweet.
"Yes, Ma'am," Hume agreed jokingly. "Trump read this tweet when it was posted and time-traveled himself back to yesterday and flew to Iraq."
Yes, Ma’am. Trump read this tweet when it was posted and time-traveled himself back to yesterday and flew to Iraq. Genius take.

"Genius take," he added.
O'Brien lashed out at Hume in another response attempting to salvage her snarky criticism.
"Sorry—let me spell it out more slowly so you can understand me: the President (according to cnn's Barabar [sic] Starr) prepped for this trip several weeks ago," O'Brien tweeted.
Sorry—let me spell it out more slowly so you can understand me: the President (according to cnn’s Barabar Starr) prepped for this trip several weeks ago. The shaming seems to have worked. I hope you’re having a nice holiday. Try not to be such an a**hole in 2019.
