On Tuesday, President Donald Trump retweeted and deleted a cartoon showing a train labeled “Trump” running over a man with “CNN” covering his face.
“Fake news can’t stop the Trump train,” the image’s caption reads. The tweet was removed after a short time.

This comes a day after the President engaged in a contentious exchange with CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who asked Trump why he was not holding a news conference, as he teased last Friday.
He fired back that he had already held a news conference by issuing a statement on a presidential memorandum he signed. He did not, however, take questions from the press.
“You’re fake news,” Trump told the CNN reporter.
Just last month, Trump shared from his personal Twitter account an edited WWE video that showed him body-slamming a person with the CNN logo superimposed on his head.

Trump made another twitter gaff of Tuesday; retweeting and deleting a post calling him “a fascist.”

After listening to the detritus coming out of the mouth of the Trumpkopf-in-Chief today, this moronic cartoon is really irrelevant. Lets focus on some of the really “fine people” marching around Friday night in Charlottsville chanting about “the Jews” and creating some mindless moral equivalence with those who sought to protest against those Nazis and racists.
