What were your first thoughts about the clip showing Donald Trump wrestling down the man with the CNN face?* My first thought was that someone had uncovered this clip and showed it to embarrass the president. My second thought was that it was some of the dirty FAKE NEWS the president rails against. Imagine my surprise that the clip was in a tweet from our president! Shocked is a word hardly strong enough.
Well maybe it follows from Trump's election run in which he urged violence against demonstrators.** So the trend toward violent politics continues (see Decline in American politics)***
So getting physical in politics and encouraging a foreign government to get involved in our politics are added to our decline politically. It is getting difficult to think of ways our politics can get even worse. A shooting war?
