What would happen to a journalist who posted a gif of them body slamming a wrestler w trump's face?

If your answer is anything other than "they'd be fired within an hour", you're wrong.

If a citizen posted the same, they'd get a call and visit from the Secret Service.

The "president" has to be above this. Obama did not respond in like to years of trump's poking and prodding. Obama did his damn job. But trump likes to say "everybody's picking on me", which is funny because he built his political base by picking on Obama.

What a Cheeto-dick asshole.

The CNN employee can write news stories about the presidents behavior, up to CNN to publish the work.

That kind of 'crazy' behavior by the POTUS is 'news', that should be reported on.

This Republicans president has ALWAYS been obsessed with his media coverage. He's a 70? year old obsessed, unfit, angry man & will _never_ change.
