It is funny.

Fuck Trump tho, but haha

Shit isn't funny man. That's the president of our country promoting violence.

It's Wrestling...

Prior to the election that gif in other context was shared all the time.

 

[Pakkidis]

America, you elected possibly the worst person qualified for president.

 

[Sanjuro]

Great gameplay never changes.

But yeah, stories are shit.

Pop culture in general has seen a massive boost in recent times. Videos games are still generally seen as something adults shouldn't be doing.

 

[adj_noun]

It is funny.

Alternative funny.

 

[Dangansona]

Sorry I just can't find it funny at all.

 

[fantomena]

If Trump is Mad King Aerys II, who is Jamie?

 

[Machina]

It's Wrestling...

Yes, by low bred internet trolls, not the President of the United fucking States

Shit isn't funny man. That's the president of our country promoting violence.

Even with the body slam recent thing we all know trump isn't smart enough to connect those dots. Someone else made this gif for him, he thought it was hilarious and pro trump, so he tweeted it out. He ain't advocating violence just like when Sunni makes an E3 gif he ain't advocating anything but laughter

Saying anything else is literally fuel for republicans to whine about how sensitive liberals are for thinking he's really advocating violence by posting that

 

[ebullientprism]

Holy shit that's nuts! How does a candidate body slam a reporter and then still get elected?

Still don't think the POTUS meant this in a dark manner. But with a recent event like that in the news this comes across as insensitive to the max.

What in his recent behavior has led you to believe that the man can engage in "banter". That gif is as light hearted as someone posting a list of exclusives on GAF when mentioned that his console has none.

Feelings got hurt. Cant express in words. Post a GIF.

There is no wink wink nudge nudge here. Just anger and childishness.

 

[SoundofSilence]

America, you elected possibly the worst person qualified for president.

That was the entire point of electing him.

 

[Dierce]

Hey diablos, what do you make of your hero? Still haven't opened up your eyes to this moron.

 

[Messofanego]

Someone should do a CNN version of Trump taking a stunner.

Ehh, we still got this:

6 pages in and no one has put CNN on this? C'mon GAF! We gotta tweet this at him lol

 

[ZeoVGM]

I didn't leave the thread. I actually changed my mind in this scenario.
Started off laughing at the shitposting of our POTUS. After hearing about that recent bodyslam of a reporter I'm left feeling like this was an insensitive retweet that will do him more harm than good.

No.

You also said you still don't think he meant it in a "dark way" and haven't responded to the people pointing out the numerous times he supported violence during the campaign.

 

[jstripes]

Shit isn't funny man. That's the president of our country promoting violence.

It's funny in an abstract sense, if you can temporarily detach yourself from reality.

But it's still pretty disturbing.

 

[Kurdel]

hahahahhaah

Inappropriate because of his position is one thing, saying this encourages any kind of violence...just lol. It's like saying some people kill because violence in videogames.

Remember when a GOP nominee literally chokeslamed a reporter and got a bump in his numbers?

Yeah, this is the world we actually live in.

Trump knows what message he wants to pass with this rhetoric, pretending otherwise is to be incredibly naive.

 

[Vicetrailia]

It is funny how much Trump hates the media, this is his pc way to show his desperation. Someone should play him "death around the corner" by Tupac.

 

[Kyzer]

6 pages in and no one has put CNN on this? C'mon GAF! We gotta tweet this at him lol

Yes exactly with his new hashtag

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Tbh, I don't remember that aside from maybe a couple of house members or senators.

It was the attempted narrative and very few if any Republican officials tried to counter it.

 

[RustyNails]

Their defense will be "lighten up LOL".

But it will be interesting to hear whether the reportera and anchors on tv call ot a giff or a jiff.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Trump's authoritarian tendencies towards a free press were on full display last year. He posed a clear existential threat, and yet the press largely didn't take him seriously; you can tell this by what they did choose to cover.

The press can't claim to be shocked at any of this.

Sure they can. Their top priority is to make money as opposed to stopping threats.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Trump is joking and trolling and it's working

nah, you can't call this joking and trolling when his administration has been on a crusade against CNN (or just free press they don't like in general) since day 1. It's the context here which makes this particularly pathetic, and yet nerds continue to lap it up.

 

[Mahonay]

"An animated image"

 

[takriel]

lol at users in here finding this funny. the fuck is wrong with you?

 

[UpUpDownDown]

6 pages in and no one has put CNN on this? C'mon GAF! We gotta tweet this at him lol

Because it, and wwf in general, is stupid. Not cool.

Don't fight dumb with dumb.

The "promoting violence" angle is really grasping at straws.

 

[Catchpenny]

Right, but his administration claims that Kathy Griffin stunt was promoting actual violence against the President, and that a production of Julius Caesar is left-wing violence.

I don't know. It's fun to point out that these people are hypocrites who don't actually care about violent rhetoric, but it's also just fueling the political hysteria in this country.

 

[Amalthea]

Hard to believe some people think he's doing this for fun or in an ironic manner.

Looks more like something a teen with anger issues would do because he knows he'd get his ass whooped irl.

What context? He's been calling CNN fake news for months and now they are the only big new organization to announce layoffs due to fraudulent reporting. CNN left him this opening and now they and the world are getting trolled

 

[BajiBoxer]

CNN statement:

I agree with their statement. It is childish, sad, and pathetic. But maybe now they should stop employing Trump surrogates who sit there and just stir up shit?

 

[Kyzer]

Because it (and wwf in general) is stupid. Not cool.

Don't fight dumb with dumb.

Disrupting dumb momentum with dumb is actually very effective when dealing with someone so dumb

Donald Trump is our president. The only appropriate response is hysteria.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

At this point the US need fucking James Cameron to raise the bar again.

 

[Carl2291]

Shit isn't funny man. That's the president of our country promoting violence.

Your Presidents have been bombing the middle east for years. This is nothing new.

 

[Evening Musuko]

6 pages in and no one has put CNN on this? C'mon GAF! We gotta tweet this at him lol

There should be different ones with WaPo, NYT, WSJ, etc so people could have it at the ready when they drop something this week. He shook.

 

[Sojgat]

President Camacho was a work of fiction once.

 

[Steel]

C'mon guys. No matter what your politics, that's hilarious.

So Kathy Griffin holding up Trump's head was also hilarious(

Spoiler

It wasn't

)

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Disrupting dumb momentum with dumb is actually very effective when dealing with someone so dumb

Except.

No, it's not *shakes head*. Oh America....

 

[hiim_haz]

actually, it's from a 10 year old Wrestlemania stunt. If you look closely, he's not really punching CNN, it's just a shop

That somehow negates the fact that the POTUS is acting like a complete child? He's the President not a meme lord.

 

[Mahonay]

Your Presidents have been bombing the middle east for years. This is nothing new.

Yeah because that's the same thing as this and completely related.

Or not at all. Whatsoever.

 

[LiK]

6 pages in and no one has put CNN on this? C'mon GAF! We gotta tweet this at him lol

Someone needs to add CNN to the head of those gifs lol

 

[Kyzer]

Your Presidents have been bombing the middle east for years. This is nothing new.

Yes because killing terrorists or disabling dictators ability to chemical gas their own people is the same thing as Trump saying protestors should be in stretchers or offering to pay legal fees for assault

 

[bionic77]

America has become such a joke country.

/keeps waiting for us to hit rock bottom.

 

[norm9]

Now a president can't joke around?

 

[Kyzer]

Except.

No, it's not *shakes head*. Oh America....

Putting CNN in a gif is not meant to be a political strategy that changes the world, its to troll his new hashtag which he created to control a narrative and is filled with a bunch of dumbasses running amuck on aocial media propagating this buffonery with no retaliation or response. A few of us trolling with a WWF gif is not that serious.

 

[Machina]

Yes because killing terrorists or disabling dictators

Because that's totally what's actually happening

 

[TheLaughingStock]

So Kathy Griffin holding up Trump's head was also hilarious(

Spoiler

It wasn't

)

I don't find this funny, but you'd have a point if he posted an image pretending to decapitate a CNN anchor or executive. This is a fake wrestling gif. Not even remotely close.

 

[darkside31337]

America has become such a joke country.

/keeps waiting for us to hit rock bottom.

rock 2020

As a wrestling fan I've seen and put up with a lot of dumb, carny shit. This might be the most ashamed I've been as a fan

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

What context? He's been calling CNN fake news for months and then they are the only big new organization to announce layoffs due to fraudulent reporting. CNN left him this opening and now they and the world are getting trolled

The context of his never ending assault of the free press he doesn't like? The pathetic tantrums, and the cameras not being allowed to roll? CNN being an big news organizational actually holding itself accountable for some shoddy reporting doesn't change anything unless you're an easily amused child.

 

[Impeccable]

Memes were a mistake and internet trolls are cunts.

We deserve all of this.

 

[Kyzer]

Because that's totally what's actually happening

Ok please explain to me whats "really happening"? And please dont tell me america did 9/11 to kill muslims
