President Donald Trump sent out a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, tweet on Sunday and it drove journalists out of their minds.
In the tweet the president shared a video of himself making one of his World Wrestling Entertainment appearances where he leaped onto a man and started punching him.
But superimposed over the face of the man he was punching was the CNN logo.
President Trump captioned the tweet “#FraudNewsCNN #FNN.”

It didn’t take long for the unhinged left to go insane.
Starting with CNN, who made an official statement accusing the president of inciting violence.

Yes because a fake wrestling video is the same as a mock beheading.
Keep in mind CNN reporters like @brianstelter @Acosta @jimsciutto @donlemon @jaketapper receive threats all the time. https://t.co/sXJ7cMaVx3

And @realDonaldTrump wonders why more and more people are questioning his mental health. https://t.co/0dfg6QhNAy

Why is it the left only recognizes a joke when it is someone on their side like Johnny Depp or Kathy Griffin actually promoting assassination of the president?
“No the president has never encouraged violence against the news media. Why would you say that?” https://t.co/JWL99PwFzi

The chairman of the Democratic Coalition wants the president to be charged with a crime if a journalist is attacked because he exercised his First Amendment right and tweeted a fake wrestling video.
The next time a reporter is assaulted by a Trump supporter, @realDonaldTrump should be charged w/ inciting violence. https://t.co/Q8wWpXNcii
