This strikes me as really pushing for any excuse to attack Trump for any reason whatsoever. CNN has a whole story devoted to shaming Trump for calling the Parkland shooter a “sicko” on the grounds that it’s stigmatizing to people with mental health problems who aren’t all mass shooters of children. From CNN:
In a tweet Thursday, President Donald Trump described someone who would shoot up a school as a “savage sicko.” At CNN’s town hall on the Parkland, Florida, school shootings on Wednesday, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch described the gunman as “an insane monster” who is “nuts” and crazy.” And at a White House briefing Thursday, the President again used the term “sicko.”
The shooter, Nikolas Cruz, struggled with depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism, according to a 2016 Florida Department of Children and Families report. But having a mental health diagnosis does not mean he would become violent, many experts say. And although Trump has said he wants to focus on mental health to stop school shootings, calling Cruz a “sicko” doesn’t help, those experts claim…
“When it comes to mental health, language really matters. This is not about being politically correct. It’s about wanting to do everything we can to encourage people to get health treatment that works,” said Ron Honberg, senior policy adviser with the National Alliance on Mental Illness…

It’s not only ok but the thing to do to stigmatize
CNN is FAKE NEWS
Stigmatization at it’s best
People who mow down innocent people in cold blood are evil.
Its a moral sickness. Now if that’s politically incorrect CNN can sue me for defamation.
I call it like I see it.
I wonder if they found the Michael Moore movie with that title objectionable (would not be holding my breath, but let’s be consistent here, eh?)?
This network is a mother f***in’ disgrace ;/
Seems to me he called one guy a “sicko”. He made no reference at all to the larger community of people seeking mental health care - he didn’t call them sickos or any other derogatory term.
Just wow.
Professor of Name Calling. Lol
That’s a good one, allright...
Reads just like a Real Story!
Boy, these satire stories are really funny!
...wait... This IS one o’ them Semi-Satires, right?
Right? RIGHT!??
I’m way past the point of giving a flying **** what CNN has to say. Every effin day it’s something else. Sick of it!
Does the FAKE NEWS channel have sickos on their payroll? Sounds like it!
CNN again trying to control words. Good little Marxists they are.
Don't try to figure out wnat CNN is thinking, they spout nonsense on a good day, and worse most of the time.
Wow. This network has completely fallen apart.
Ha ha ha the MSM was calling Trump the SAME NAMES just a few weeks ago!!
Ummmm, yeah. Don't think so.
Here they go. Total leftist dirtbags who are going to play it both ways.
CNN and their homies say the most evil and horrible things that are untrue about Trump. They are stigmatizing a good man.
But to them, it doesn’t matter. He is not a indoctrinated slug for their evil intent.
That’s right. It might hurt his feelings. CNN should stage a march to the jail and give Cruz a big group hug.
most potuses wouldn’t say $h!t if they had a mouthful (many did)....Trump.45 has no trouble calling them as he sees ‘em!
Gunnyg@PlanetWTF!
TRUMP.45 IF We Can Keep Him?
