CNN melts over Trump's basketball player tweets

That the three players are all young black men should also not be lost here. Trump's history on racial issues -- both as president and as a private citizen -- shows some level of intentionality when it comes to using racially coded language and taking advantage of racial animus and stereotypes for his own political gain.
quote:
The image of an older white man in a position of power demanding thanks from three young black men for saving them will set off a lot of alarm bells for people. And, understandably so, given Trump's previous actions in the wake of the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in the ongoing NFL anthem protests.
quote:
Trump is someone who likes to be praised. He likes to be adulated at all times -- and tends to respond well to people who say nice things about him. (See "Putin, Vladimir.") He wants to get credit. Always. He seethes when either he doesn't get the credit he thinks he deserves or sees someone else getting credit for something he did.
quote:
Case in point: Steve Bannon's stock fell in Trump's eyes in the early days of the administration when the White House strategist was cast as the real power behind the throne -- in both a Time magazine cover and in his portrayal on "Saturday Night Live." This, from an April New York Times story, is illuminating on that front:
They go on to quote a NYT story using anonymous sources about Trump envying Bannon.

Once again CNN over reacts to what were dumb tweets from POTUS. Who cares if those kids thanked him.
Okay sure, it would be nice if once in awhile the media and Trump haters would acknowledge good things he does, but at some point you just have to realize it's not going to happen and move on. No reason to beat these kids up on Twitter.

Getting beat up on Twitter is a walk in the park compared to what these 3 dumbasses were bound to get in that Chinese prison.

The media wasn't even reporting on it. If this was Obama it would have been the best thing ever. They're even trying to call him racist after saving these idiots' lives.

They should have hand written notes of thanks to this guy...

To not be grateful is unreal...unreal

CNN is a mess.
If Trump hadn't done shite and left those 3 idiots to rot in a Chinese gulag they'd be shitting the bed over that too.

CNN falling for the rope a dope yet again.
By complaining about his tweet, they are forced to cover that Trump got those three morons freed and returned to the US. Which is more than can be said of Captain Clusterfrick and either the student in North Korea or the US Marine in Mexico.
