over Trump. He's living in their heads.
Seriously. It's obvious that Trump is never going to get personal 'like' from me, though some of his policies or attempts to pass or appointments have already gotten a :clap: from me. I don't want his administration to fail, in spite of my personal feelings towards the man.
Many more people, though not myself, liked Obama personally, though over and over again, many more did not approve of his policies or want them implemented. They like the man, not the actions he wanted. They wanted them blocked.
CNN, a 'news' organization can't seem to separate themselves from the President, personally. This is leading to their own destruction:

THUG JOURNALISM: CNN Threatens To Reveal Identity Of Reddit Man Who Made Trump-CNN Bodyslam Meme If He Disobeys Them by Ben Shapiro
Last week, the President of the United States tweeted out an idiotic meme of himself, from his WWE days, pummeling another combatant after clotheslining him. The meme included a CNN logo pasted over the combatant’s head, making it appear as though Trump was pummeling the CNN logo.
Dumb, funny, ridiculous.
Par for the course.
It was difficult for CNN to find a way to screw up the story. Here was President Trump tweeting out juvenile insults at them. All they had to do was scoff and point out that Trump is the president, not some 4chan s***poster. This was a gimme.
They blew the putt.
First, they claimed that the gif was an actual threat of violence — or at the very least, would prompt violence from Trump supporters. This comes shortly after a Bernie Sanders-supporting, Trump-hating leftist attempted to assassinate dozens of Republican congresspeople, and CNN insisted — rightly! — that left-wing rhetoric wasn’t responsible for nut jobs committing evil crimes. But that logic went directly out the window when CNN saw an opportunity to pounce on Trump.
Then it got worse.
On Sunday, CNN dropped a report on the tweet. The report didn’t focus on why the president would tweet such a thing; it didn’t focus on why the president would be trolling Reddit for Twitter material; it didn’t even focus on why the Trump White House and Trump campaign made unsubtle overtures to the underbelly of the internet.
No, CNN decided to focus on the original s***poster who put up the Reddit meme Trump hijacked for his Twitter. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski put out a piece tracking down the Redditor who put it up; Kaczynski reported that the guy’s feed was full of anti-Semitic and racist imagery, but added that the man had apologized profusely online, said that he never wanted Trump to put up the meme, and stated that the meme wasn’t meant to encourage violence. Then CNN dropped (https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/882409482403368960) this incredible two paragraphs:
CNN is not publishing “HanA**holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
That’s essentially blackmail. That’s CNN stating that it will out the guy if he dares to defy their political perspective or offends them sufficiently.
