You have to hand it to President Donald J. Trump. When he is attacked, he hits back mercilessly, and once his prey is wounded, he moves in for the kill.

Figuratively speaking, of course. The only people who have really entertained the thought of “killing” has been the unhinged Left and its leaders in the Democratic Party, and it always involves some sort of assassination porn involving Trump.

Well, the president upped his game against fake news network CNN on Sunday, tweeting out a doctored clip from his pro wrestling days, showing him pummeling an opponent whose face was covered with CNN‘s logo.

And he included in his tweet this hashtag: #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN, the latter standing for — what else? — Fraud News Network.

Trump has been at war, so to speak, with the Washington establishment media — or, more correctly, it has been at war with him, in collusion with the Deep State — since he beat two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton last November.

And while Trump has been volleying with the media here and there, constantly trolling them with early morning tweets that have generally been mild rebukes, he now appears to have decided it’s time to take the gloves off.

Last week one of his White House spokespersons, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, warned the press that Trump had adopted a new combativeness towards what he correctly views is an unfairly hostile media.

When Trump gets “hit” by insulting attacks that have nothing to do with policy and everything to do with him personally, “he’s going to hit back,” she said. “He fights fire with fire,” she added, noting that he “has been attacked mercilessly” by all Washington establishment media outlets.

Indeed, she continued, the American people “knew what they were getting” when voters in a majority of states sent him to Washington: “A fighter.”

And now, apparently, he is a fighter who has taken off his gloves, so to speak.

It’s about time, frankly. Last week, CNN published yet another fake news story it was forced to retract, claiming a former Trump campaign associate was being investigated by the Senate for alleged improper contact with a Russian financial firm just days before Trump took office (to perpetuate the phony “Russian collusion” narrative nobody’s been able to show any proof of).

Also last week, Trump responded forcefully to yet another attack on his “manhood” by MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, who made a comment about his “teensy hands.” That tweet, like the most recent CNN wrestling tweet, once again left unhinged Democrats and liberals apoplectic.

Fox News reported on CNN’s response to the President’s latest tweet:

CNN responded almost immediately to Trump’s tweet on Sunday by referring to a comment last week by White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary.” – @SHSanders45 6/29/17,” CNN’s public relations office tweeted.

The network later released the following full statement: “It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters.”

Sure. But the Left — including the irrational, hate-filled hosts and their guests on the various news networks — can condone or consciously choose not to condemn anyone on the Left advocating the assassination of the president or otherwise bringing him harm.

CNN‘s assertion was then parroted, as usual, by Democrats: Rep. Ted Lieu of California called it “beyond disturbing.”

What Trump tweeted was a hilarious wrestling clip altered to fit the current flap with CNN. If the pansies at that network really saw that as “the president supporting violence against journalists,” then they are just as likely to also blame spoons for obesity and cars for speeding tickets.

What the president is doing now is simply trolling the media, which has no sense of humor, takes itself far more seriously than the average American, and cannot stand being treated the same way it treats him.
