Newsweek is coming under fire over a tweet about Melania Trump demanding the removal of an historic White House tree — without the complete context.

“Melania Trump orders removal of the near-200-year-old tree from the White House,” blares a headline complete with a glowering photo of the First Lady.

Innocent internet users who thought the First Lady had it in for the old tree would learn after clicking the article that the historic magnolia had become a danger to the property.

“The tree was about to fall, and experts recommended its removal,” wrote Newsweek writer Sydney Pereira. “Trump reportedly made the decision to have it removed after tree specialists determined ‘the overall architecture and structure of the tree is greatly compromised.'”

Newsweek’s tweet was widely criticized — beginning with the dean of Twitter journalists, Yashar Ali.

“Another BS Newsweek Tweet,” he snapped.

Another BS Newsweek tweet. Your story reflects the truth, that this decision was made after consulting with experts. With 280 characters there’s no excuse for this…. https://t.co/F60Dhf64yj

And it pretty much went from there.

#Newsweek was actually a viable news organ at one time in our history. Sad to see this… https://t.co/jDLR6r57eh

Every effort has been made to save the structurally compromised tree that poses a safety risk, but sure, run with the ‘Melania Trump: Historical Tree Hacker’ tweet. Pathetic, @Newsweek https://t.co/7TJv0Pze7d

I'm old enough to remember when @Newsweek was a respectable publication. Sadly, now they're nothing but a trashy, liberal tabloid!
They failed to mention that the tree was rotting & being held up with braces. They're replacing it a tree from the seeds of the original. https://t.co/q5HZdRv5jI

….because the tree was damaged and decayed and unable to be saved. Newsweek isn’t even worth the $1 it was purchased for. https://t.co/Gjl9k4TlcF
