I still say some are way overreacting to this. If he had combined the content of the tweet with a more direct call for violence outside of this silly video, which is fake violence.. again, fake, not real, then I could perhaps see these types of reactions, but I don't see this as that big a deal to be honest. That said, I hope it damages his presidency beyond repair, and it somehow forces him out of office, but if we're keeping it real, I think we all know this is a whole lot of nothing.
I understand the "he's the President of the United States" stuff also, but it doesn't mean he has to walk around like he's got a stick up his ass either. He can have fun or be an ass like anyone else. Him calling the press the enemy of the people is many times worse and more alarming than this is. I understand it's important to maintain the dignity of the office and all that, but let's be serious for a moment; This is Donald fucking Trump. He probably isn't fit to be sitting down on the white house toilet, much less being the President of the United States. He's not going to change. There's plenty to be outraged about relating to Trump. I think this is just fodder for some discussion about the message it sends with relation to past irresponsible statements, but this isn't the horrific thing people are making out to appear. Is it still possible some dumbass somewhere out there will see this as a call to go hurt a CNN reporter? Very likely, yes, but that doesn't strike me as the intent of this particular tweet. We know how bitter the jackass is, and that he can't stand CNN, and he's frustrated with them in any number of ways that are well documented. And so, as a way to showcase that frustration, he decided to utilize something from his past in, honestly pretty funny fashion, to get the point across. It changes nothing about how much of an idiot he is, and how dangerous he is for the country, but this isn't the hill to die on folks.
