The GIF depicted a video of the President striking a golf ball into the back of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The tweet was captioned, \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary\u201d. The account handle goes by \u201cCNN Sucks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Reaction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the sun came up in Washington D.C. Sunday, Trump\u2019s latest retweet captured the front page of CNN.com. Known as a great counter puncher, Trump\u2019s latest tweet could possibly be a reaction to Clinton\u2019s recent book release, but perhaps it is much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout-key=\"-h5+4-q-19+53\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4082025517969876\" data-ad-slot=\"9819194866\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weaponization of GIFs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest Twitter assault on Mrs. Clinton and CNN is not Trump\u2019s first. He drew criticism for using a GIF made by a Reddit user who portrayed Trump handing CNN a WWE style beat down. CNN was reported to have blackmailed the Reddit user into ceasing the creation of GIFs that displayed the company in a negative light. CNN received negative PR as a result of the incident as well as a barrage of memes from conservative protesters. Many think this was all apart of Trump\u2019s plan to delegitimize the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could Trump be baiting Hillary Clinton or CNN into another trap? For now only time will tell. Chances are there is more to Trump\u2019s retweet than 4:00 AM boredom. For as long as people continue to underestimate the effectiveness of the account @realDonaldTrump, the President will continue to have free reign using the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/2ymymZCWlhk\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump yet again set Twitter on fire early Sunday morning.
