Donald Trump found his most creative way to make fun of CNN yet, by crudely editing them in to his appearance on Wrestlemania.
Donald Trump has spent most of his time in the White House battling the media. Just about every media outlet that isn’t right wing has criticized his administration and has tried to undermine it by saying his election win was influenced by Russia.
Trump has repeatedly taken shots at these media outlets through his favorite platform, Twitter. Just a few days ago, he savagely tore down the hosts of Morning Joe on MSNBC, who used to support his campaign. But his biggest rivals are CNN, who he has called fake news on more than one occasion, and just recently rebranded them the “Fraud News Network“, or FNN for short.
But just having that acronym wasn’t enough. Trump had to go the extra step and edit CNN into his appearance at WrestleMania 23:

Who knows what message he’s trying to convey here? Perhaps by editing CNN into WWE, he’s trying to say they’re as fake as professional wrestling. Or he’s saying that Vince McMahon is as crooked as those media conglomerates. And in the end, his administration will win out.
Trump’s appearance on WWE came back in 2007. He surprisingly took down McMahon, then shaved his head bald after winning a representative match. It’s one of those appearances that wrestling fans never forget, although I’m sure a good portion of them have tried to selectively remove it from their memory.

Given the numbers this tweet has gotten already, it could be just as big as his covfefe one. The only difference is that this tweet isn’t an accident. The way he sees it, the media has been against him from the moment he started his campaign. Now that he’s occupying the most powerful position in the world, he believes it’s his duty to fight back.
