This has gone WAY to far!!! GIF with trump shooting down CNN

Donald Trump Jr. one-ups his dad with new Instagram that shows the president shooting down 'CNN'

President Trump has been extensively criticized for threatening the media by posting the video that appeared to portray him assaulting "CNN."

"It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters," CNN said in a statement released Sunday after Trump's tweet went out.

However, supporters argued that Trump was merely attempting to communicate his views to the country, as he believes the media has treated him unfairly.

"There's a lot of cable news shows that reach directly into hundreds of thousands of viewers, and they're really not always very fair to the president," homeland security adviser, Thomas Bossert, told ABC's "This Week." "So I'm pretty proud of the president for developing a Twitter and a social-media platform where he can talk directly to the American people."

Their hope is some wack job opens fire on a CNN set or some other, people are killed and the rest of the media will be scared to say anything negative about president one inch. The newest NRA commercial with Dana Loesch is also part of this sick plan. Republicans really hate democracy and a free press. Wouldn't the founding fathers be proud,not.
