Heartless Libs Pile on Emotional Huckabee Sanders for Reading 9-yr-old’s Fan Mail to President Trump

Displaying a skepticism absent under President Donald Trump’s predecessor, many in the media scoffed at an endearing letter to the president from a 9-year-old boy calling himself “Pickle.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read the letter at Wednesday’s press briefing to a chilly reception, despite her own emotional investment. Of course, with young Pickle stating early on that Trump was his “favorite president,” this is not entirely perplexing.

“I like you so much that I had a birthday about you,” the young boy wrote before asking Trump if they can be friends.

Watch a choked-up Sanders read the letter below:

As skepticism over whether the letter was real grew online — a by-product of Trump Derangement Syndrome — the press secretary released a copy of the letter on social media:

Thank you Dylan (aka Pickle) for your letter to @POTUS! We hope to meet you soon! pic.twitter.com/RtTb6KtsZN

New York Magazine’s Wahington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi seemed to encapsulate the mentality of the media toward the Trump White House with a series of hate-filled tweets responding to the letter, beginning with this literary gem:

For fucks sake

She goes on to say that “this is uhhhh not what the briefing is for,” adding that it’s “just propaganda.”

Nuzzi openly questioned the whether the letter was real.

“The White House has released what they claim is the letter from Dylan,” she tweeted.

Speaking of gems, how about this offering from Andy Lassner, the executive producer of “The Ellen Show”…

Has @POTUS ever made you look at his pickle, Sarah?

Here’s a sampling of other snarky, often hateful responses from what the media would have been celebrated under former President Barack Obama as a “feel-good moment.”

Hey, quick question: Was this Pickle/Dyland letter mailed?
Because this paper does not look like it's been folded. pic.twitter.com/Y4rs7t2rDI

How'd this letter from "Pickle" get to the White House on such a pristine piece of paper? It's almost like it wasn't folded or even mailed. https://t.co/NYLvCFSJum

Luckily, @CNN will agree not to reveal Pickle's address if he apologizes and promises never to write a fan letter to @realDonaldTrump again! https://t.co/bjSqCuLwzt
