Media criticizes Trump for retweet portraying CNN as blood on his shoe

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 12/24/17 02:03 PM EST

Numerous journalists criticized a tweet that was retweeted by President Trump on Sunday on Christmas Eve showing what appears to be blood and the CNN logo on the bottom of the president's shoe, with the caption "Winning."




Journalists from multiple outlets spoke out against the meme on Twitter, which was originally tweeted from the username oregon4TRUMP.




ABC's chief political analyst Matthew Dowd asked Evangelical Christian supporters of the president if they approved of the tweet on the eve of the holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.




Journalists from other outlets also came forward to speak out against the retweet.

that you should never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ream (in modern terms, electrons and pixels by the terabyte).

as to mergers or something?

I suspect he will shut them down soon, somehow.

I mean, the ass clown the republican blasphemously follow as their 'god emperor leader' is an out and out liar, cheater and hater. That's being 'anti-christ' right there. No getting away from it. The republican Draft-Dodger is channeling beelzebub, or something else similarly foul and greedy.

but I've never lived under one as mean-spirited and just plain nasty as this stinking pool of orange pus.

And he revels in it. He thinks he's a real manly-man when he does crap like this.

Merry Christmas, asshole. May you choke on your goddam figgy pudding.

The Kindergartner-in-Chief is as immature as a person could possibly be. He has no inner barometer for how immature and petty he really is. It's hard to believe he's only filed for bankruptcy four times (or is it five?). With an attitude like his, being a businessman wasn't the best career choice for him. He would have made a fine speed bump though, or perhaps a bookend in a Library.

that kissed his fat tuchus during the primaries and general election season.

They played games with an ignorant madman who wields a machete. Great idea. Good for ratings? Go fuck yourselves. Like the (ironically) Russian XO said in The Hunt For Red October: You killed US you arrogant ass”
