										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a series of strange events, President Donald Trump once again invoked violence against a CNN reporter and, apparently, embraced the idea that he is a fascist.</p>
<p>Following the homicidal terrorist attack on anti-White Supremacist demonstrators, trump saw fit to post the following tweet, memorialized here in a retweet by <a href="https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1">Kyle Griffin</a>, an MSNBC producer.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/08/TrumpTrainCnnReporterViolence.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/08/TrumpTrainCnnReporterViolence.png?resize=559%2C704" alt="" width="559" height="704" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24374" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Similar to an earlier contrived production in which Trump himself is shown in a video beating a CNN reporter, this shows a train labeled TRUMP running over a CNN reporter in cartoon form.</p>
<p>That tweet was deleted soon after being posted. I wonder how that happened.  Did Trump think better of his choice? Did General Kelly storm the bathroom and wrestle Trump&#8217;s phone away from  him? Did the NSA dive in there and delete the offending tweet in such a way that Trump will never see that it was deleted but the rest of us will? Can they even do that?</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a guy from the UK named <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeHolden42">Mike Holden</a>, tweeted the observation that Trump is a fascist, so his alleged ikntent to pardon Arizona Joe Arpaio, Sheriff makes sense.  Astonishingly, trump re-tweeted Holden&#8217;s remark.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/08/TrumpTweetFascist.png"><img decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/08/TrumpTweetFascist.png?resize=587%2C436" alt="" width="587" height="436" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24375" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I checked. Trump&#8217;s twitter account does not say &#8220;retweets are not endorsement,&#8221; and we know from the evidence of considerable prior practice that Trump&#8217;s retweets are, in deed, endorsements.</p>
<p>That tweet was also removed, and again, one wonders how that happened.</p>
<p>SNL, are you paying attention?</p>
<p>I found out about these tweets in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/08/15/after-charlottesville-trump-retweets-then-deletes-image-of-train-running-over-cnn-reporter/?undefined=&#038;utm_term=.57c3bb6f870f&#038;wpisrc=nl_most&#038;wpmm=1">this WaPo article.</a>. So, it is probably fake, but whatever.</p>
