Does any rational person think Trump was intending to incite violence against the media?

i mean actual, physical violence

this seems to be the defense of CNN and other journalists (who are melting the frick down)

do these people literally live in a bubble so thick they don't understand memes?

has Trump Derangement Syndrome taken hold of these people so much that they're essentially zombies, directed by some internal virus that has eaten away their brains, leaving them as lifeless drones?

i thought nothing could top Hillary addressing Pepe. well, CNN has told the country "hold my beer"

we are living in a literal detachment from reality by CNN and its allies/supporters

No.


This country is full of irrational people though.

Everyone knows Hitler used memes against his enemies in the press.

Rationale and news have an emotional disconnect at the present time.

I'm pretty sure the Trump thought process here was:

1. Lol
2. Tweet

You mean how HRC, Bernie and every other loud mouthed celebrity/talking head or Dem incited violence against Trump voters for the past year?

exactly

the irony is that CNN is mobilizing about 1/5 of the internet against it right now, which may cause some strange irl interactions

weaponized autism is a real thing.

You know as well as I do that this is simple distraction. It's what the media does. It's their collective job, and Trump is playing his role in it as scripted.

The question should be: what is the media distracting us from?

CNN was probably also deeply disturbed at Jonathan Swift's proposal to eat babies.

Trump: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

CNN: "Trumps eats ponies."

We live in an age where logic has been thrown out the window. Anyone who watched during the election saw Wolf Blitzer have a seizure over the results. Of course any time they think they have the moral high ground they are going to launch attacks from above.

Wolf was a regular Rocky Balboa on election night

he was not giving up even when it was impossible for his person to win

This is like when Trump said that if Russia had Hillary's e-mails they should release them.

The media tried to make that equal: Trump promotes Russian hacking.

no it's not, because that involved something with actual stakes involved

Trump tweeted a fricking meme. it has almost no real value or stakes

Wrestling isn't real so of course he wasn't inciting real violence. At worst it would be coreographed, theatrical violence.

Watching Wolf order the reporter around the big board demanding possible winning scenarios for Hillary was high comedy.
