It would be the most unfair treatment of a president ever. Really, really unfair and sad. Especially for a president that had the largest inauguration crowds, ever.
 
To summarize:

The video was pretty stupid.
Trump was stupider for making it public.
CNN is unethical for threatening to make public who made the video and using that threat to manipulate the individual.

None of the above is surprising. People always assume journalists are some sort of moral superiors. Probably because they keep telling us that. This is not true of course. A lot of them are about as ethical as a politician.

Obviously, the desired result was achieved:
- everybody's debating about shit that doesn't matter
- distraction has diverted attention away from the fact that absolutely nothing is getting done

At first pass, it would seem that way.
With a second pass, maybe CNN was being more responsible. As journalists, they would have been within their rights and simply reporting facts if they printed the guy's name in the first report. Just a thought.

Alternate summary:

The POTUS threatened the press, an institution vital to the survival of our republic.

CNN agreed not to reveal the identity of the troll, but reserved the right to do so in the future.
 
Redditor Behind Trump-CNN Wrestling Video Issues Lengthy Apology, Deletes User Account

The Reddit user credited for creating the video depicting President Donald Trump “attacking” CNN in a wrestling ring issued a lengthy apology on Tuesday, saying “I am in no way this kind of person” and that they did not advocate violence against the media.

The user, “HanAssholeSolo,” issued the apology after CNN reportedly discovered their real identity. The user has since deleted their account on the social news site.

First off with username like that, he probably is that kind of person. I have an account on reddit, but I hardly visit that site.

Trump has been involve with the WWE for many years, the press/public should have a field day with it. In the video below Trump attacks Vince McMahon and shaves his head bald. Because the match was hair vs hair, I personally think it would been more funnier to see Trump bald.

 
This Trump vs CNN gif is pretty funny, even still I can't stand our president!

 
With the Polish first lady in the news thanks to the Don/Melania handshake it got me looking into the Polish first family and the first daughter it a knockout:

Trump has completely broken Shia LaBeouf and it really makes me happy.



Transformers and Indiana Jones were enough to make me dislike him already and his silly Trump protests were just a nice cake topper.

This is his second (at least) arrest since January. The first one was during one of his protests and in this one he continues to rant about Trump while also coming off like a real dickhead talking about his "million dollar lawyers".

If you haven't heard the story of Shia's protests they are really fascinating.

How 4Chan's Worst Trolls Pulled Off the Heist of the Century

The gist of it is that Shia first put up webcams in NY and some other places where he wanted people to show their protests and use the "He will not divide us" phrase. That didn;t go well and a bunch of people wound up torlling the cams with pro Trump or just generally stupid, unrelated stuff. He got arrested the first time at one of the cams when he fought a person goofing off to the camera. The cops then ask him to take them down so he does.

Here is where the story gets real interesting. He then decided to put up a "He will not divide us" flag with a webcam that streamed the flag 24/7. Well this set in motion a cat and mouse game between Shia's flag and a bunch of people on 4chan. They kept finding the flag and stealing it and sometimes replacing it with a Pepe frog flag.

After a couple flags were stolen he then put up another with the cam positioned so nothing but the sky and flag cold be seen. 4chan'ers were able to watch the planes that flew into view of the webcam and somehow triangulate the location of the flag and even managed to steal that one.

Overall it's a dumb story but one that has bee a lot of fun to follow.
