CNN Logo Used as Man's Head

Forget the part, for a moment, that in that video, tRUMP is implying the media should be assaulted....that is bad enough, but what about just the mere fact that this video shows the President of the United States bashing a guy over and over?! Why isn't there more commotion about that??! This should be totally mortifying to us as a country, and a total embarrassment to people around the world seeing our President behave like this! Even if it was before he was President, it still makes a statement about exactly what kind of person is our President of the United States!

It should be discussed but some will agree that it was before he was President. I am of the mindset that previous behavior establishes a pattern of behavior. It is clear that he will sink to the lowest common denominator and not go down without a fight. So much is dismissed as just a video and so on. It is embarrassing and disgusting but it's only the tip of the iceberg. And his shitty behavior comes at us so fast that there is only so much that can be addressed. Also he has done a good job feeding the divide and creating distrust of the media. There are so many that consider his behavior a sign of toughness.
