A left-leaning mainstream media news outlet has egg — or should we say eggnog? — on its face after an article slamming President Donald Trump over Christmas ended up being off base just hours later.

“By staying home on Tuesday, Trump became the first president since 2002 who didn’t visit military personnel around Christmastime,” NBC declared in its article.

“President Trump and the First Lady traveled to Iraq late on Christmas night to visit with our troops and Senior Military leadership to thank them for their service, their success, and their sacrifice and to wish them a Merry Christmas,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted on Wednesday.
