President Trump tweeted a video of himself body-slamming a man with a CNN logo for a head on Sunday. The video was originally from 2007 footage of a stunt Trump did at WrestleMania XXIII, where he wrestled Vince McMahon to the floor.

The president then tweeted: “CNN has really taken it too seriously, and I think they have really hurt themselves very badly.”

I am thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!

As per the reactions of the wrestling fans, one fan stated:

“President Trump tackled CNN the way he's going to tackle fake news and the way he's going to make America great again."

Another said

"Of course" the image does not inspire him to commit violence against anyone at CNN.”
