Laughter as Trump lauds politician's body slam of Guardian journalist

The US president draws laughter at a Montana rally with advice to 'never wrestle' local Congressman Gianforte, who in 2017 assaulted a  Guardian reporter. 'Any guy that can do a body slam ... he's my guy,' says the US president. Trump’s comments mark the first time the president has openly and directly praised a violent act against a journalist on American soil. 
It comes in the wake of Trump’s refusal to condemn Saudi Arabia despite growing evidence its leader, crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the decapitation and dismemberment of the journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi.

Why did you delete the other video? It was the same video. It had a lot of pro-Trump comments. I have a feeling that's why.

Message from The Guardian moderator “ this video will be deleted later today after our Social media manager returns from marching against Brexit “

With this speech, Trump body-slammed himself by showing how LOW the president of a western superpower can fall.

Attacking and silencing journalists is terrible for freedom and justice, irrespective of your particular political beliefs or party affiliation. Nobody who believes in democracy and the rule of law, especially not the president of the United States, should ever celebrate or make light of violence against journalists.

As a moderate independent I just have to say....




That's my President!!! I love Trump. A real man's man.

[RK-evue]

It's going to get to the point where we start electing wwe wrestlers for president like in the movie idiocracy.
