US President Trump baffled the world on Sunday with a bizarre gif showing him flooring a personified CNN and beating it round the head. Many were furious calling his Tweet an incitement of violence towards journalists, while others sought to have their own fun.
The instantly infamous tweet was put out on Trump's personal account and retweeted by the official @POTUS account. In case you’re still in the dark, here it is:
