New York Slimes slammed Pompeo for his absence as Iran deal was cancelled, but then it was learned that he was in North Korea rescuing Americans

When you are the New York Slimes and all you have in your hand is a Trump-hating hammer, then every problem is a nail.

From Brian Flood for Fox News:
As the New York Times was bashing Mike Pompeo for being missing in action while President Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal, it turned out the secretary of state was busy rescuing three Americans who have been held captive in North Korea.

In an apparent jab at the administration, The Times’ headline said, "At a Key Moment, Trump’s Top Diplomat Is Again Thousands of Miles Away."

The Times' story noted that “Senior State Department officials were momentarily speechless on Tuesday when asked why Mr. Pompeo did not delay his trip by a day to be in Washington during Mr. Trump’s Iran deal announcement.”
But on Twitter President Trump explained why Pompeo was away.
"I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health," Trump wrote. "Secretary Pompeo and his ‘guests’ will be landing at Andrews Air Force Base at 2:00 A.M. in the morning. I will be there to greet them. Very exciting!"
