The video shows a black child running away from a white child while playing, with a fake CNN caption.

The caption reads: "Terrified toddler runs from racist baby", before the video accuses CNN of "fake news".

clicking on the prominent warning that Twitter attached to the tweet brings users to a page where Twitter warns: "The president shared a version of the video which many journalists confirmed was edited and doctored with a fake CNN chyron."
Real classy...

I don't get it. Is it a joke? Is it making fun of racism? Is it an attempt to slander CNN? A combination of the two? What is it?
Trump is trying to deny racist allegations against himself while also pointing his finger at CNN and blaming them for putting out fake news which has led to not only the belief that Trump is racist but also blaming them for creating the high racial tensions we currently have

Thanks, that sounds quite plausible.

“It’S jUsT a PrAnK bRo!”

That’s our national jester, the President. :rolleyes:

Proverbs 26:18 Like a maniac shooting
flaming arrows of death
19 is one who deceives their neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
