Lots of people tweet memes without checking who made them. The president of the United States — or someone close to him who manages his social media account — seems to be one of those people.
On Sunday morning, President Trump tweeted out a doctored old video of a professional wrestling match in which he, appearing in character as himself, pummeled another performer and sent them to the ground. Except someone had replaced the other wrestler’s head with the CNN logo — a jokey meme that reflects the president’s long-running feud with the cable news network.
But Trump didn’t create the video. That honor apparently belongs to a person who had posted a version of the video on Reddit last week, raising questions about how the meme found its way to the president’s Twitter account. It seems the anonymous user — who uses an online moniker that combines the name of a “Star Wars” character with an unpopular part of the human anatomy — has a history of posting racist, homophobic, anti-Islamic and anti-Semitic comments on the site. Many of them, like the online name, aren’t appropriate to be reprinted here.
“Wow!!” the user wrote Sunday in a post in the “the_donald” subreddit, where Trump fans often congregate. “I never expected my meme to be retweeted by the God Emporer himself!!!”

“anti-Islamic”, oh my. Someone who doesn’t support the beating of women, slavery, murder of infidels, and is probably, not doubt, opposed to the summery execution of homosexuals. We can’t have those types around.
Well CNN has 2 N’s. Nazi starts with N
“anti-Islamic” -—> Pro US Constitution and support of the supremacy of Western Civ to all others when it comes to personal freedom.
Commie Nazi Network.
“Brazen Racist”? A BLM guy?
Unless I’m wrong Trump didn’t retweet this and he didn’t credit anyone, the claim that it comes from this particular guy may be false. The White House says so. Note the article repeats the absolute lie about depicting Hilary with a Star of David.
Don’t forget the insane genital mutilation that ruins girls forever.
Good one
Indeed, I suspect most normal Americans are 2-3 degrees of separation from someone who is out there on the nutjob spectrum. Are we now responsible for the behavior of our friend's friends?
So, if we're going to,play that game MSM, rather than rifling through the garbage of some netizen, let's start equally digging in on Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, the Ayers', and Van Jones to name a few.
Oh wait, you already failed there.
“On Sunday morning, President Trump tweeted out a doctored old video of a professional wrestling match in which he, appearing in character as himself, pummeled another performer and sent THEM to the ground.”
Him. Him. Him.
I’m seeing “them” everywhere. On conservative sites. Even Traddy Catholic sites.
Honor killings, child rape, these are allowed under Sharia law. So yes I’m proudly anti-Islamic.
CNN is a Race?
Who knew?
Wow...AP went to some effort to put that video together...didn’t they?
And enemy islamists....
