Trump's Dangerous Tweet
As you probably know by now, Trump tweeted a doctored video of an old wrestling clip that shows him beating the crap out of a person with a CNN logo on his face. The original is an old World Wrestling Federation video where Trump pretends to beat up Vince McMahon, the owner of the company. Trump and his minions have claimed that it's just a joke, but it's just not funny. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Inciting violence isn't humorous, especially from the supposed 'leader of the free world.'
CNN's response to the tweet should tell you everything you need to know:
“It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters. Clearly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the President had never done so. Instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, dealing with North Korea and working on his health care bill he is involved in juvenile behavior far below the dignity of his office. We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his.”
The sad thing about this is that it's not surprising, and isn't even slightly shocking. Trump does something like this almost every day. We've become almost immune to it. Imagine if Obama had tweeted this? So we need to remain vigilant, and keep speaking our minds. Dump Trump!
