Trump Retweets Meme Showing Him With CNN-Labeled Blood Spot on Sole of Shoe

Well, here we go again.

President Donald Trump began his Christmas Eve morning on Twitter, firing off tweets about FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (again) and “Fake News.” He also decided to retweet a meme from a pro-Trump account that showed CNN as a blood spot on the bottom of his shoe.



This isn’t the first time the president has used his Twitter account to share a meme of him committing violence against the cable news network that he constantly refers to as Fake News. This past summer, he retweeted a GIF showing him beating up a figure with a CNN logo as a head. He also retweeted (and deleted) a meme of a Trump train running over CNN.

The only reason why this is even news is because we're supposed to have emotions and responses about what the POTUS says, what if we just started saying "Meh" to what Trump says, to what any President after Trump says?

I've got a job, an education, a nephew with a rare disease, transgender and Muslim loved ones who face dehumanization, etc. I care about those, not some dying fake "government" being used for state-sponsored temper tantrums.

When you drop all notions of "respect for the office", things seem a little better. Try it sometime.

is when there's a Republican in the White House. I remember back in the Nixon days hearing that we have to respect the president since he's the only one we've got (uh, the Constitution outlines how we can get a new one), and again during the Reagan and Bush years. Funny, it never seems to come up when there's a Democratic president.

Wonder why this supporter would use photo that is decades old to photoshop the "CNN" part and add the "Winning" label.

Those types of photos would be very hard to get unless it’s deliberately showcasing the bottom of a shoe.
