Donald Trump said on the campaign trail he would like to punch protesters, and now he has gone a step<br />further in his war with the media, superimposing a CNN logo on a man he once joke-wrestled with <br />at a sporting event.<br /><br />The spectacle of the President of the United States engaging in a violent act, even if tongue-in-cheek,<br />has dismayed many. But what should the bullying media expect say his supporters.<br /><br />“I think that no one would perceive that as a threat. I hope they don’t but I do think that he’s beaten up in a way<br />on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to. I think that importantly here he’s a genuine president expressing <br />himself genuinely and to be honest I think that’s why he was elected. He’s the most genuine person and the people that<br />see politicians and then see him find him to be someone that they can understand and relate to,” said the White House <br />Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Thomas Bossert.<br /><br />This weekend has seen Trump redoubling his attacks on the media, but there has been no let-up in the protests against him<br />around the country, either.<br />
