Tin Ear
Whoever produced this has a tin ear and no sensitivity to the mass shootings that have occurred throughout the US. Trump and his administration claim not to know about it, but the negative atmosphere the President has spun about the media is at the root of the video. Predictably, the media have reacted in horror and called for the administration to denounce it. Trump probably will, but who knows? His disdain for the press is deep and he has made it known time and again. His mantra is "fake news." He is furious when journalists call him out for lying, and the White House has frozen them out as much as possible. Should someone act on the suggestions of the video to assault the media, it will be one more nail in the coffin of Trump's 2020 election campaign.
