Trump tweeted out a video of him "beating up" CNN

I like that by MSM they mean everything not Fox News, Russia Today, or Breitbart as if they're somehow exempt and not part of the problem.
"The main stream media is all fake!! ...except those few that actually agree with what I think".

It is ironic, as they sit there and watch Fox News all day.

If they don't like it, its fake and not real. They don't have the mental acuity to actually debate someone with a different opinion, so they simply refuse to believe the different opinion is real.

These people should be living on a different planet since the one their heads reside in certainly isn't Earth.

Planet White Power is where most of them reside.
 
"I'm the President and they're not."

What a fucking child. Can't wait for Republicans to be asked about this. He's turning the office into a joke and they can't keep up with his antics, nor can they control him. Such a failure but what do you expect from the right wing? They don't get why people take the presidency so seriously; to them it should be used to fight terr'ism, tell other countries to go fuck themselves and apparently Tweet GIFs of yourself from wrestling. No reason to be smarter or classier than that.
 
It's going to take the greatest president this country has ever seen to undo the damage this monster is causing.

I think we might be fucked.
 
So what happens when conservative fuckboys physically assault a reporter?

Trump blames President Obama. Media covers Trump blaming President Obama. Before long they'll be harassing President Obama over why he can't control his out of control supporters. Then we'll re-elect Obama again in 2020, only to impeach and imprison him.

Breitbart and RT isn't all that MSM. Breitbart is really on popular to certain circles. Fox News gets away with it because I think they are the really only popular Conservative news that is consumed by so many people.

We're still trying to get out of Reagan's toxic economic bullshit practices and measures. What ever happens in the next 4-8 years will take decades to fix. It probably won't even be in our lifetimes. So much of the core issues are so ingrained, that it'll take a changes on the systemic level to actually get out of this mess we're in. Which is the truly the hard part.
 
Have republicans come out yet to publicly denounce this fucking shit yet? Where's McCain?

Until Trump is either impeached or convicted of a serious crime, the average Republican will defend him. If either of the above ever happens, they'll suddenly act as if they never supported him.

Well a number of republicans did came against him with that Morning Joe tweet. I'd hope something similar with this.

trump is a marketing/pr genious. he does all these stupid shit so that people can spend days complaining about him. thing is: these people are those that never voted for him in the first place. they didnt even thought about doing so, not for a second. the people that got him elected are probably looking at this and saying 'haha wtf, why is everybody so angry at him? its just a joke' or 'but its true cnn hate him! go trump!', while he is passing all kinds of destructive bills in the congress, that do not get the attention they deserve becaues people are talking about Trump-Wrestling-CNN and covfefe.

he knows how to change the focus of everything.

edit:

btw, he just turned the table, by doing something this horrific, now anything that CNN migh publish/produce against him can and will be seen as an act of revenge. In the end who liked him will keep liking him (we all know all the bs he told before, during and after election), and those that dont will keep not liking him. Only the millionaires are laughing out loud as they get massive tax cuts while the poor get fucked over heating bills and no health plan at all).

The talking point should be that he is absolutely petrified of stairs, and so him bodyslamming anything with those weak ass knees is more of a joke than he is.

No. He's just an idiot who tweets and says whatever is directly on his mind, with absolutely no filter. There's no thought to this, no grand plan. It just so happens a lot of Americans are idiots too.
 
Doesn't work what way exactly? You think hundreds of thousands to millions of people protesting in DC each week wouldn't have any effect?

No, sorry, I thought you were referring to everyone coming out and protesting, like so many ignorant posts have done in the past (it really doesn't work that way, people can't just go out and protest nilly willy). Protesting works, but in the case of Trump, he has so much power, that protestors are like "insects" to him. They certainly hurt his fragile ego.

This theory is stupid. He has yet to pass anything worth a damn through Congress.

For what it's worth, I think the biggest issue is getting people to protest in the proper locations. If people are protesting in NYC or LA, then they're not protesting where the politicians they're against are anyway.

Trump the marketing genius.

Make America Great Again = go back to the 1950's.
Modern Day President = right now.

The work of a genius.

For sure Trump voters will only turn on him when his policies start to impact their quality of life. This kind of silly tabloid shit is what got him elected, it's infuriating but his supporters enjoy his antics.

WaPo says the the origin of the video in Trump's tweet is Reddit: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s-to-promote-violence-against-cnn-with-tweet/

Trump, who is on vacation at his Bedminster golf resort, posted on Twitter an old video clip of him performing in a WWE professional wrestling match, but with a CNN logo superimposed on the head of his opponent. In the clip, Trump is shown slamming the CNN avatar to the ground and pounding him with simulated punches and elbows to the head. Trump added the hashtags #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN, for “fraud news network.”

The video clip apparently had been posted days earlier on Reddit, a popular social media message board. The president's tweet was the latest escalation in his beef with CNN over its coverage of him and his administration.

On ABC’s “This Week,” homeland security adviser Tom Bossert dismissed the idea that the tweet might be a threat, while he praised the president for “genuine” communication.

“No one would perceive that as a threat; I hope they don’t,” Bossert said, referring to the tweet.
