Sarah Sanders issued a begrudging clarification after being accused of posting a misleading photograph on Twitter of the president directing missile strikesDonald Trump’s press secretary issued a begrudging clarification on Sunday after being accused of posting a misleading photograph of the president online. “Last night the President put our adversaries on notice: when he draws a red line he enforces it,” Sanders wrote as a caption. It said: “As I said, the President put our adversaries on notice that he enforces red lines with the strike on Syria Friday night. The photo was taken Thursday in the Situation Room during Syria briefing.”Trump, who frequently makes untrue statements, last month posted misleading photographs of his own. Pictures supposedly showing the start of work on his much-vaunted border wall in fact showed repairs to an existing fence in California.
