Apparently, this video appeared on Reddit and Trump retweeted it.
Yesterday he threatened to sue them.
As most of us Autistics have found out the hard way when bullies get rewarded they escalate. Trump is the most rewarded bully in America at the moment with no sign of it ending and he knows it. He knows everybody is going to yell and scream and but no serious effort will be made to remove him because he is still a ticket to the conservative agenda being implemented and Republican congressmen fear the wrath of his voters.
Yeah, I know the quality of cable news "journalism" is crap these days but Trump is doing the impossible, making these multi-billion dollar corporations almost sympathetic.
For months, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have privately counseled their more militant members to forswear talk of impeaching President Trump, telling them the political support for such a step simply doesn’t exist in the GOP-controlled Congress.
But 25 House Democrats, including the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, are now pushing an equally radical alternative: They are backing a bill that would create a congressional “oversight” commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Perfect time for it but that is not how the amendment works. The cabinet has got to say he is incapable. Pence has got to sign something saying he is incapable. Pence is President at that point. Even if that happens all Trump has to do is sign a paper saying I am capable then he is President again. Then two-thirds of both houses have to say he is incapable then Trump is out. Not likely.

I wish I had invested in treatments for head trauma and in desk manufacturers last year.

So just in case the collusion with Russia / obstruction of justice etc investigation goes nowhere, now they want a 25th amendment bill back up. I wonder what else they'll think up.

OMG, now Trump's even got the lefties reading the Constitution! Is there nothing he can't do?
And they are even screwing that up.
Maybe they can hypnotize SCOTUS into interpreting the constitution in a way that completely nullifies the whole election and puts the Hillary/Kaine ticket in.

Meanwhile, Caesar In the Park that TAX PAYERS pay for has a play about Trump being stabbed to death. Kathy Griffin held up a severed Trump head dripping with blood and that’s also no problem according to some on the Left. Then the GOP is practicing for a softball game as a fund raiser and a Bernie Sanders fan stakes them out and shoots them almost murdering Scalise. But that's okay too? As in, where is the outrage from the Left? Trump sends out a tweet with him wrestling with a LOGO and that Is VIOLENCE? LOL! The Liberals have no boundaries on their hypocrisy and totally jumped the shark.

One side has committed actual death threats against the President and the threat of blowing up of the White House (Johnny Depp, Madonna), and actual violence against the GOP, with the shooting of Scalise.
The other side has presented a fictional wrestling match against a logo, not against a human being.

All this "tat for tat" is useless. On both sides. The least common denominator is becoming more "least."
We have to raise the level of the political dialogue---otherwise, we're going to the dogs.
You seem to think there's moral equivalence here. There isn't.
Tell me more about Mr Trump's moral rectitude.
Image doesn't seem to want to work.
