The US President has tweeted a short video clip (click here) of him wrestling a person with the CNN logo for a head.
The clip is an altered version of Donald Trump's appearance at a WWE wrestling event in 2007, in which he "attacked" franchise owner Vince McMahon in a scripted appearance.
The animation appears to have been posted to a pro-Trump internet forum earlier in the week.
CNN later accused the president of inciting violence against the media.
One panellist on ABC's morning show, Ana Navarro - a Republican Trump critic and CNN contributor - said "it is an incitement to violence. He is going to get somebody killed in the media."
But Homeland Security Adviser Thomas Bossert, who had appeared earlier on the network, said: "No-one would perceive that as a threat."
The clip was submitted to a Donald Trump forum on the social media site Reddit four days ago, where it became one of the most popular posts....
The statement below gave rise to a "You Tube" video of Trump on stage taking aim and shooting Mexicans. Supposedly, Mexicans that were in the USA illegally.
...“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue (click here) and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” he said....
Donald Trump's constituents hate. They hate minorities intensely. They hate the media because there is too much truth in reporting issues surrounding approval ratings.
Currently, across the spectrum of polls, with some as low as 35%, Trump is not popular. Given his need for popularity, he isn't doing well with the American people.
The problem is that Trump's constituents are amoral. They might pretend to care about morality as expressed by their religious affiliations, but, that is sexual morality and nothing more. Being married and having babies is their only claim to morality. There are all kinds of morality including the value of life of more than a Caucasian newborn, economic morality that includes important regulations that facilitate economic strength as well as quality of life. The people Trump attracts have not had sincere power to carry out their hate. Now, they do and he exerts it when he feels it necessary.
Trumps consistent violent temperament include attacks on women that invokes the words blood. That is violence against women from the Oval Office. No one stands up to it. No one is demanding the courts to temper this ill mannered and poorly spoken president.
If the USA courts want to call this freedom of speech, then let's have fun saying "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The President of the USA has a responsibility to maintain civil dialogue. This isn't it. Not only should he maintain such a dialogue in the USA, but, also internationally. Internationally, he gives permission for a Philippine President to kill so called drug traffickers.
President Trump is the worst president in modern history. He enjoys violence and includes it in his dialogue on a regular basis. Journalists should not be surprised that eventually they are on his "Hit List."
How does it feel, by the way? For all the coverage Trump got in the 2016 campaign from a media seeking ratings over leadership, how does it feel to know an entire industry is on the "Hit List" of the USA's President? Now, where are the reports about the impacts to minorities and the violence actually leveled at them by inflammatory idiots like Trump? Where are those reports?
The American public should be made aware of escalating deaths at it's borders, not only by vigilantes, but, by the fear of border guards that find dead bodies on the border at dangerous terrain and desert. There are a lot of problems in the USA because of Trump's rhetoric. The White Supremacists are counting on building a constituency with this President that will actually elect more and more of them to Congress and the Presidency to actually carry out their dreamscape.
This administration is creating violent problems today, but, also into the future if it is not stemmed and Pre-W civility is not returned. It is time the USA grew up and accepted RESPONSIBILITY for it's ill behavior at the polls.

It has to be a weird feeling for a white man (click here) who has used racist and anti-gay rhetoric to have his life saved by a black man and a gay black woman.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was one of five people shot when a gunman opened fire at congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, June 14.
Scalice spent several days in critical condition and was recently released from the intensive care unit. The Republican congressman owes his life to people whom he previously shamed: David Bailey and Crystal Griner — the U.S. Capitol Police officers who returned fire and killed the gunman.
In 2002, Salon reported that Scalise was an honored guest at a meeting of a white supremacist group founded by David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klansman. At the event, Scalise described himself as being like “David Duke, without the baggage.”...
