In Truly Unhinged Tweet, Trump Shares WWE Clip Showing Him Attacking CNN

On Sunday, July 2, President Trump unleashed yet another attack on the media. After his widely condemned attacks on MSNBC's Morning Joe hosts earlier in the week, Trump uploaded an edited GIF of himself assaulting a CNN logo. The violent clip comes from a 2007 WWE WrestleMania event Trump participated in, but the dangerous message it sent to news outlets that criticize him was heard loud and clear. "#FraudNewsCNN" he hashtagged the tweet, which has since raised concerns for many journalists, including those who work for CNN.
