Trump. CNN. The Media. Left/Right. Grow up.
When Donald Trump posted a video of himself body slamming CNN, the media and people alike went completely nuts.
A lot of liberals thought that the President was inciting violence, and Trump should have been crucified for this.
On the other end of the spectrum, a lot of conservatives thought it was hilarious to see 'fake news' taken down.
Just like almost all the political issues having to deal with the media these days, people only seem to know how to deal in extremes. It's either VERY right or VERY wrong. And nothing in between.
In reality, the right reaction to Trump's antics is something in the middle.
Yeah, it's a little sad that our POTUS spends his time tweeting crap like this, but to say he's inciting violence against the media is taking it just a BIT too far. And that's a major issue with politics and the media today.
It seems we live in a 'victimized' society today, where everyone cries bloody murder over such minor issues. Everyone has to react to the polar opposite, when they feel butt hurt. Some of the replies to Trump's CNN Bodyslam Tweet, such as the one below, just scream absurdity.
And this is the LEFT's issue. As someone who leans to the left, and think 'The Donald' is an embarrassment to our nation, I'm equally embarrassed by those of us on the Left who do NOT have to play the victim card when talking about issues.
CNN has the same issue. CNN actively threatened to 'dox' the 4chan/reddit user who posted this video in the first place. And that ladies and gentlemen, is almost as ridiculous as Trump's tweet in the first place. How can real progressives set themselves apart from a disastrous presidency, when their responses to the issues are disastrous as the presidency itself?
CNN and Liberals alike, have had so many great chances to be the bigger person, instead of stooping down to Trump's/The Conservative Media's level. Instead of threatening random citizens, and playing the victim card, CNN should be shaking this tweet off as if nothing happened. Anyone with a level head can see the tweet for what it is--completely idiotic. And leave it at that.
But when CNN and the LEFT starts shouting, "OUTRAGE! He incites violence! We will find the Redditor!" - it only makes us look like imbeciles ourselves.
Until CNN and Liberals realize that they need not stoop down to Mr. Trump's level, we're in for a repeat performance from both Trump and the Liberal Media. It will go on and on, in circles.
Until someone simply, Grows The Fuck Up.
CNN is worse than we know. Now, we all are making videos.

We need to understand the truth a bit more because we fight Soros and Rothschild.
