WATCH: Donald Trump shares a video of him tackling “CNN” and beating it up

Carl Kinsella

Remember when the President of America… didn’t do stuff like this? Us neither.

Donald Trump has been President for what feels like, oh, a million years now, and yet he keeps on outdoing himself.

On Sunday morning, at around 9:30am his time, he shared a video of himself back in his old WWE days, tackling somebody to the ground and repeatedly bashing their head in, only in place of the original person’s head, there was the CNN logo.

Donald Trump has a long-running feud with news networking CNN, whom he has repeatedly referred to as “fake news.” Sharing a video of himself actively perpetrating violence against the organisation, albeit in the most ridiculous way possible, seems like a further escalation of his rhetoric.

The video ends with a logo in the corner that says “FNN: Fraud News Network.” Just in case you can’t make it to the end, because you’ve gone to look out the window and think very hard about what the world has become.
