On Sunday, July 2, President Trump unleashed yet a**ther 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.

The President of the United States is encouraging violence **t just against a reputed news channel, but the entire free media.

Wow, this is just truly disgusting. It's a sad day when the leader of the free world thinks this is an appropriate message to show the world
