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…

No Trump should not call them sickos. He should call CNN (Communist colluding network) a cesspool of SICKOS.
I guess using the label “retards” is right out, then. So I won’t use the label “RETARDS”
Beside, weirdo is a bit more accurate.
Thanks mandaladon. If the SOB had shot up a group of Republican politicians, or a military base, he'd have been some kind of mentally ill outlier, according the Partisan Media Shills.
Some folks just need killin’. For now stigmatzin’ will have to do.
The talking heads on camera are no different than BHO, they just have to look good while reading their lines. They have a handler behind the scene calling the shots and providing the script. The show’s producer is the power, not the familiar face on camera. Take the fight to the producer, to the sponsors supporting the production of the news segment. Compromise that monetary support. Attack! Attack! Attack!
CNN - so worries about stigmatizing a shooter by calling him a sicko, reflecting on other mental health patients.
I wonder how much concern they have with calling Trump and his supporters all sorts of demeaning names, like oh.......... Hitler, Satan, deplorables, Nazis, bitter clingers, Christians [those nasty people], Islamophobics, racists, etc.
You know, I need some comic relief. I think I’ll go watch CNN.

Speaking of ‘Sickos’ - what a great new moniker for the CNN liars... Why? Because It’s Stigmatizing...
CNN is so deep in a world of “make believe,” that any redemption has become virtually impossible. On the other hand, it is very clear why CNN would be afraid of stigmatization on this front!!
.
Trump captured it in this morning's speech to CPAC - he said 'democrats care about criminals'. You've nailed it Gumdrop. That's what's happening here. CNN is clueless about who they are... they only care about the 'feelings' of criminals...
You make it sound like a bad thing, but THE TRUTH HURTS.
Stigma is a good thing. We need to call liars liars (like you guys) Mozlums, liberals, wetbacks, criminals, perverts, welfare parasites, they ALL need to be stigmatized.
And especially disease-ridden, child-molesting faggots.
Only the MSM reporters and the expert analysts can declare someone mentally incompetent.
