HAS the President of the Us finally and completely reverted to a true THREE year old...???
President Trump shared a video Sunday on Twitter of himself slamming WWE President Vince McMahon to the ground and punching him with the CNN logo superimposed over McMahon’s head, escalating his recent attacks aimed at the news media.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-twe...145733032.html
“It is a sad day when the president of the United States encourages violence against reporters,” the network said in a statement. “Clearly, [White House press secretary] Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the president had never done so.The footage, taken from “WrestleMania 23” in 2007, shows Trump approaching McMahon outside of the ring, using a clothesline move to knock him down, and punching him in the head before turning to walk away. The altered clip mocking CNN recently appeared on a Reddit.com message board.
The president’s tweet included a pair of disparaging hashtags: “#FraudNewsCNN” and “#FNN.”
Donald J. TrumpThe network added: “Instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, dealing with North Korea and working on his health care bill, he is involved in juvenile behavior far below the dignity of his office. We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his.”

Dear dumb as a rock @realDonaldTrump: The news media LOVES that you use social media. It jacks up their ratings & helps Special Counsel.
As @dlippman has reported in the past, some news orgs have quietly been ramping up security over past year. Trump tweet is partly why.
@SHSanders45 3 days ago: "The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence."

Homeland Security Adviser Thomas Bossert on Trump's CNN tweet: "No one would perceive that as a threat. I hope they don't."
"Some WH advisers said that they were frustrated the Brzezinski feud overtook the president’s fight with CNN."

Backdrop this against POTUS aides insisting he wants to talk about policy and media isn't interested

NOW Trump and his supporters are openly preaching "a social war".....
The head of the NRA said: "academic elites, political elites, and media elites. These are America’s greatest domestic threats"
BUT WAIT..I thought it was those "radical Islamic terrorists"....
1. Mao bragged, "Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty.. had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars."
2. The Khmer Rouge murdered anyone who wore eyeglasses on the assumption that they could read and were an intellectual
3. Franco was violently anti-intellectual, which is why your favorite writers were all off fighting the Spanish civil war.
4. The Night of the Long Batons where libraries were burnt, and academics ousted from housing ushered in Onganía's dictatorship in Argentina
5. "When I hear the word culture I reach for my revolver." (By Nazi playwright Hanns Johst.)
6. Lenin's regime began by exiling 220 prominent intellectuals on "philosopher's ships."

Russian TV still sympathetic to Donald Trump. Anchor Dmitry Kiselev says POTUS is suffering "ferocious pressure" & "unprecedented hounding".

A Foreign Service Officer just told me "Tillerson is tired, frustrated and very unhappy.
It's not a question of if he leaves but when".
WHY.....US FP is being driven by Bannon and Trump's son-in-law.......
Someone should do an analysis of American companies doing business in Russia, especially in energy, and donating to House GOP leadership and to the Trump campaign.
The list would be rather long and would surprise a lot of people as well as the sheer amounts of money beig passed around....
AND the Trump ME FP is again what......
BREAKING - Saudi government sources state there are internal demands to invade Qatar to "liberate it from the al-Thani family rule"
